An epidural needle assembly, comprising: an epidural needle hub having a forward end and a rearward end; said needle hub having a first bore extending therethrough; an elongated epidural needle having a forward end and a rearward end with a second bore, having rearward and forward ends, extending therethrough; said rearward end of said epidural needle being secured to said forward end of said epidural needle hub so as to extend forwardly therefrom; said rearward end of said second bore in said epidural needle being in communication with said first bore in said epidural needle hub; said forward end of said epidural needle being sharpened; an injection needle assembly including an injection needle hub having a forward end and a rearward end and which has a bore extending therethrough; said injection needle assembly including an elongated hollow injection needle having forward and rearward ends; said rearward end of said elongated hollow injection needle being secured to said injection needle hub; said forward end of said elongated hollow injection needle having a sharp point; said rearward end of said elongated hollow injection needle being in communication with said bore of said injection needle hub; said injection needle hub being slidably mounted on said epidural needle whereby said epidural needle slidably extends through said rearward end of said injection needle hub, through said bore in said injection needle hub and through said injection needle; said injection needle hub and said injection needle being slidably movable with respect to said epidural needle and said epidural needle hub between a first retracted position and a second extended position; said forward end of said injection needle being positioned rearwardly of said forward end of said epidural needle when said injection needle hub and said injection needle are in said first retracted position; and said forward end of said injection needle being positioned forwardly of said forward end of said epidural needle when said injection needle hub and said injection needle are in said extended position. an epidural needle hub having a forward end and a rearward end; said needle hub having a first bore extending therethrough; an elongated epidural needle having a forward end and a rearward end with a second bore, having rearward and forward ends, extending therethrough; said rearward end of said epidural needle being secured to said forward end of said epidural needle hub so as to extend forwardly therefrom; said rearward end of said second bore in said epidural needle being in communication with said first bore in said epidural needle hub; said forward end of said epidural needle being sharpened; an injection needle assembly including an injection needle hub having a forward end and a rearward end and which has a bore extending therethrough; said injection needle assembly including an elongated hollow injection needle having forward and rearward ends; said rearward end of said elongated hollow injection needle being secured to said injection needle hub; said forward end of said elongated hollow injection needle having a sharp point; said rearward end of said elongated hollow injection needle being in communication with said bore of said injection needle hub; said injection needle hub being slidably mounted on said epidural needle whereby said epidural needle slidably extends through said rearward end of said injection needle hub, through said bore in said injection needle hub and through said injection needle; said injection needle hub and said injection needle being slidably movable with respect to said epidural needle and said epidural needle hub between a first retracted position and a second extended position; said forward end of said injection needle being positioned rearwardly of said forward end of said epidural needle when said injection needle hub and said injection needle are in said first retracted position; and said forward end of said injection needle being positioned forwardly of said forward end of said epidural needle when said injection needle hub and said injection needle are in said extended position.
