When I had one it was also instant relief.  Just be sure to try to lay flat for the next 24 hours.  I had to have two blood patches done.  As I was leaving the hospital from having a mylogram I got news that my brother had been killed in a motorcycle accident.  I was unable to lay down, so two days later I had a blood patch.  But I was still unable to lay down afterwards so it broke loss again.  After having another one I made sure I didn't move for 24 hours.
