a spinal is a one time shot in between the dics into the spinal fluid area which makes you numb but it eventually wears off
an epi is a shot in the spine with a tube connected to it that stays in your back where the medicine can be pushed into as needed.
Tell your MIL to read up on her terminology

not dangerous per say. Anything going near the spine is a risk but my doc said damage from a spinal is like trying to poke spaghetti in a pot of boiling water with a needle
the both go into your spine, i think the spinal goes in to the space between the discs where an epi doesnt but dont quote me on that.
