Is it safe to have an epidural as an MS patient?
Some say yes and some say no.
The reasoning is that an epidural is meant to go to the brain and confuse the neurological impulses that react to pain. With MS patients, the last thing you want to do is "mess around" in there.
Some doctors swear that it is safe and this is because there isn't a concrete study proving else wise.
That being said, just because the small studies have yet to be recognised as True doesn't mean the data and findings are not valid.
Think about it...it doesn't only apply to MS research!
