Hello everyone!

I was wondering if anyone had any experience with having an epidural anesthesia for a knee replacement? My doc said that it can be used for pain control after sx. I wondering if it would be better pain control than doing it the old fashioned way!

Not so sure I feel comfortable hearing the tools being used during surgery though. Any advice is appreciated!
