They use different medication and it is not as effective as a true epidural. There are many types and levels of pain management. Sorry to burst your bubble, but they aren't the same thing. Best of luck to you mamas. ☺

That is a pretty good article.

Iv medicine does not take the pain away like the epidural it just makes it a little less painful

@sam.g, thanks for the article , makes sense now :)
