The spinal block is an injection that you get once and an epidural is a catheter line that stays in your back until they take it out. The most noticeable difference is how long the effects of the drugs last.
@kayla23, maybe some people do call it that. I have had more spinal taps then I can count. I used to have to have spinal fluid removed to relieve pressure. This is my first child so I don't know too much!

a spinal tap is what they do when they need to test your spinal fluid. They remove fluid, we're you talking about a spinal block?
