Lumbar puncture,then blood patch,now neck pain/headache

[wannabmommy]

I posted  yesterday about some other symptoms(urinating problems)due to the blood patch.I had a lumbar puncture done Friday(I have MS) and then had to go back on Saturday for a blood patch for a spinal headache.My headache went away instantly.This afternoon I started getting a lot of neck pain almost like muscle pain and it went into my head.Now I have a turmendous headache again especially when I sit or stand.Could it be possible that I need another blood patch or could it possibly just be from muscle spasms etc.Do you know of patients that had a blood patch and the headaches went away and came back like a day later?Thank you very much

Had spinal tap on fri in er.  Went back to er on sat with severe headache, stiffness, dizziness and blurred vision.  Had a blood patch done on sun, which gave 75% instant relief.  By tuesday all the symptoms came back.  Following up with doctor tomorrow to see if I need another blood patch.  Can't take this pain....

By the way, I still have the neck pain, if any one has some exp. with that as well. Will a bloodpatch help on that ?

Hi everyone,
I had a lumbar puncture done 2 1/2months ago, and got tinnitus in both ears the day after. I didn´t have a headache, but severe neck pain. Today I still have tinnitus, and my doctor says that a blood-patch won´t resolve that problem and therefor won´t give me one. Anyone have heard or have experienced same problem. Going crazy here:) Thanks a lot.

I had a LP done on 2-3-10 and had to have a blood patch on 2-6-10 and another on 2-10-10. my spinal migraines are gone. I have a severe back ache and it hurts to sit on the toilet. I get small headaches and blurred vission. My legs feel week and I get light headed often. the last blood patch scaredme away from the ER and I never want to go back. I have to wait will april to getinto a neuologist. should I be worried about this or just wait it out?

My 10 year old daughter had a spinal tap Friday afternoon.   Kept her flat on her back until mid-morning Saturday.   Difficulty standing followed by excrutiating headache.   Did some research on line and called the doctor (hospital gave terrible discharge instructions/notice) and decided best to lay her back down for another 24 hours.   Each time she gets up, headache returns.   No longer excrutiating but keeping her from moving around.   We're at post 72 hours now.   Should I wait it out another day or go back to the dreaded ER for the blood patch????

I also had a blood patch last week and am having neck pain and a headache on the back right side of my head. When I put my hand on my forehead and push with my head against my hand it's instant pain the second I back off the pressure against my hand. I also can push on the top back part of my head straight down and when I release I almost faint. Does anyone know if I need another patch? Please god I hope not. It was awfull but as we all know reading this IT'S BETTER THAN THE HEADACHE WE ALL HAD BEFORE THE BLOOD PATCH. I've broken almost every bone in my body at least twice and I would break them all at the same time before I'll have that headache pain again. Good gosh, I'm surprised more people don't literally die from the pain. I've was in and out of consiosness in the E.R. it was so painful. And no, the blood patch didn't help me learn how to spell any bettttter. lol Godspeed to everyone and pray nobody you know has the spinal fuid leaking headache!!!!!!!!!!  My 75mg fentanyl patch i consistanly wear and 15mg oxycodone every hour combined didn't touch the pain.
