Would i be able to get an epidural if the bottom of my spine is not straight? My scoliosis arent that bad but you can feel it when you touch my spine.

I have a fusion L4-S1 and they just gave me a spinal block above it for my csection. They said they would have done the same for an epidural.

A friend of mine was able to get the epidural with scoliosis.  Ask your doctor to make sure, but you should be able to.
