I had a lumba puncher Friday and ever since my head is killing me so bad and my back. Worst headache ever!!! Is this natural my heads so bad took painkillers nothing is helping my ears are sucked in pains down my legs

Oh no Kayla I'm so sorry! I would call your doctor's office and absolutely demand to speak to someone today. This level of pain cannot be normal.

Hi, by any chance were you also on a tilt type board that put your head higher and then lower than your feet?

When I had the lumbar punctures to find the path for the neurosurgeon for surgery, I thought my head would pop off from the pressure from the dye injected and changing the balance of fluid in my spinal column. The headache was awful, but passed after a while of resting. But it shouldn't be lasting this long.....please call the doctor's office to see if they can offer any insight or remedy for this pain you're having.

No I had it to test for meningitis, just took fluid out my spin. My heads killing me!! Like behind my eyes feel so sick from it. Is it normal r these the side effects

[Hidden in reply to Kaaayla]

OK, the removal of the fluid changed the amount in your spinal column, where my situation was the dye had added to it. The pressure changed. I would think that could have caused a headache too, but I'm not in the medical field, so please call the appropriate doctor and let them know what's going on.

Hi I had this too. Pain after Lp is normal in your back and headaches with nausea or vomiting, usually if you lay flat on your back and don't make any sudden movements it should subside. I was poorly after mine but I did get better, pain in your legs is not right though I don't think. Like other people said get some advice, but the other side affects are normal

Get well soon
