There is a possibility of a CSF leak or infection. You will have to get it examined by the doctor again. If leak is found, a blood patch will have to be used.
I have talked with the Dr. that administerd the spinal and he referred me to my family Dr. I went there and he didn't see anything wrong with my ear and sent me home. Which Dr. should I contact?
This is what I am feeling after my first blood patch for CSF leak. Go to the ER. at least I now know I am not going crazy. The first blood patch must not have worked. I have all of your symptoms except it is my right ear and it is driving me crazy. Do not let them give you another Lumbar puncture to see the pressure. My first blood patch saved my life. Good luck.
