LP

[missy72450]

I have yet another question. If you all remember I had my LP last thursday. I leaked all day friday into saturday. That stopped. I worked Sunday and Monday and leaked again a little monday might. The pain in my lower back and right hip(not new in right hip) is temendous. No fever or any other symptoms that might indicate infection. y headache is gone. I am so tired. Has anyone done this after an LP?

[missy72450]

She called me Thursday afternoon to see how I was feeling. She said pretty much what you said Alex that it would take awhile that sometimes a flair would cause what I was feeling as well. She told me to not worry about the results that even if they were  "normal" it did not indicate that the end diagnosis would be different. She was using it to confirm her clinical evaluation of my symptoms. I really appreciate her concern and told her so. Thanks to all of you.

Sometimes it take weeks to get back to normal.

I'm glad you're back is feeling better today.

Has it stopped leaking? I hope so.

Too bad your Dr didn't call you back. Maybe she didn't get the message.

Good luck with your results tomorrow.

I did try to call yesterday... Did not get a call back. I feel better today as far as that part of my back is concerned. Just wished she had of called back. Oh well. I am suppose to hear from her today or tommorrow anyway with the results so I will mention to her then. Thanf for all your comments and concern.

I called local doctor who toldme to put ice on it. Meaning the LP site. I have not called my Neuro Doc but maybe I should. I have never had one of these myself. I have been on the other side of th table moe times than I can count but I have never talked t the patients after to know if it hurts this bad this far out. I will call my neuro doc today. Thanks all. (leaking CS from my Lp site)

That doesn't even sound good at all Missy. I'm with Tonya on this one, get that Neuro on the phone. It may/may not be normal, but I sure as heck would be telling someone about it. Let us know how it turn.

Sorry, but I'm not sure I understand what you mean.  Leaking what from where?

  I am sorry that I have no experience w/ what you have going on but wanted you to know that I certainly hope that you get some relief soon!

   Have you contacted your Neuro or whoever did your LP to let them know what has been going on? I would think that this may be an important phone call to make??
Keep in touch and let us know how everything goes.

   I would also think that resting and keeping hydrated would be another good idea.
