Welcome to EmpowHER. Some of the reasons why an epidural sometimes fail includes incorrect primary placement, the migration of a catheter after correct placement and the suboptimal dosing of local anesthetic drugs. Some research have shown that very little percentage of women will have problems with an epidural. Hope this has helped.
