Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for posting your query.
Well since you have taken Er type of morphine there will be residual effect for 24 hours ( Er means extended release).
But I don't think that will be sufficient to avoid the sedation or local anesthesia for epidural.You can ask for a lower dose rather than avoid the sedation.
Hope this information was useful to you.
Any clarification feel free to ask.
Regards.
