    I had two epidurals which worked well. I still et the odd dart of pain and some "buzzing" but nothing like I had.

    1st one kicked in straight away. I was told if it didn't , it might mean I wasn't a suitable candidate. It lasted about 1 month, the 2nd has lasted to date- over two years later.

    2 years later your condition must have healed
