I have an epidural scheduled for my 5 herniated discs in my neck and back next week. I am in the middle of a cycle and when I tried to tell my doc, his attention was distracted and then I could never get it back to tell him. I heard somewhere that if i am in the middle of a cycle, the two will basically counteract each other and the epidural wont' work.

Any thoughts on this? I guess I could call back, but I really was hoping to get an answer elsewhere. I'll admit, I haven't looked too much yet, but was hoping someone would know.

And don't bother asking how I am lifting. I have been lifting doing life in pain for 3 years now with all but 3 of my discs in my back and neck either herniated or collapsed...life sucks and the pain is horrible, but I deal with it and try to lift around it. I just need to know about the gear and the epidural...thanks to anyone who provides a constructive response. I have no time for flaming, so keep it to yourself if you have a problem with my situation...

thanks again!
