My Dad did, but I can’t tell you if it was painful (he never said it was)but I’m sure it can't be any worse then what you’re going through now

Yes and the pain changed from once in awhile to continously for about 2 yrs. Find an alternate way if you can.

I had it done three times. The first one hurt like crap cuz the doctor didn't know what he was doing. But the other two were just fine.

I just hope that you have a doctor that knows what they are doing. I have had 4 epidurals.


I now suffer from chronic back pains.

If you can I would see if there are other alternatives that you can do. I would not wish the back pain that I suffer on anyone.

First of all, you need to discuss all of that with a doc. I'd advise any advice you get on a public message board to be discussed with your doc, obviously. Secondly, each person will react differently to various protocol so what works well for one might not for the other. It all depends with what symptoms you present.
