Does anyone have any information or links covering epidural injections for pain management?

I just got through with surgery with liver mets and used an epidural for post
operative pain control, worked like a charm. Your surgeon should give you
information regarding the risks/benefits of having an epidural.

There is some information, from a woman's/labor point of view at:

AR George,
I don't think this is the type of pain management the poster is talking
about, since you have to be in hospital for that.

I think it is more on the lines of these links

It is an outpatient procedure.
