Epidural

Just curious, how long does it take to get the feeling back in the lower body after an epidural injection.
Can it be given to last a longer or shorter time?

Middle of January, went in for a minor Op. they offered me an epidural, didn't call it that but that's what it was. Was second on the morning list, so had the jab about 0800. Was supposed to be a day patient but jab didn't wear off 'til late afternoon so I stayed for a nights B & B.
Much better than a GA in my opinion, was talking to them during the OP.
Ouch indeed,hope the epidural worked. From the my first appointment when pregnant I insisted I was put down for an epidural, much to the disdain from the earthmothers in my antenatal class. When it came to labour, despite 2 injections it only made my boobs numb. Obviously they've improved a lot since!
