                        My wife has undergone epidiurals also (26), with relief once, and that was temporary.  We have been blessed to find a Dr. that does Rhizotomy, which is the burning of the troubling nerves using a Radio Frequency probe that is on the end of a needle.  She has had very good success, but the nerves grow back in around 6 months.  The good thing is, it can be redone over and over, with much less complicaton than the epidiurals.  God Bless you, and good luck!  Henry
