I had spinal leak from spinal tap 9 days ago, i never went for blood patch.
I laid in bed for 7 days FLAT, i only got up to use the bathroom. My fear is: did my spinal fluid stop leaking? Did the hole from the lumbar puncture close? Can my dr send me for a test to see?

Now I'll be scheduled for a
spinal
tap
to draw off excess fluid- lots of that- you would be amazed at the empty space that appeared on the MRI. At that time they will retest by balance and if I pass put in a permanent shunt.

Cluster Headaches
So more MRIs to come, maybe a
spinal
tap
. Of course, my guess is neuro-behcet's, I'm presenting like MS, but without any MS lesions. This would be a lot easier with a diagnosis of Behcet's already.

Does any one have a theory ?
Hi I wonder if any one can answer my very odd issue- I have been running for over a year and when I started I used to have very bad left calf strain so with rest and a support sock I got back training then after I graduated I tore my left quad muscle which put me out of action for another twelve weeks

Yesterday was results day.. a mixed bag
So I went back to Papworth yesterday to get my results of recent tests, have been left with mixed feelings really. CT scan showed no worsening since previous scan - air trapping and atelectasis with the obvious lung reduction from scoliosis but no evidence of bronchiectasis thankfully :) LFT's showed

Any experience of spinal cord stimulation?
Pain mmgt specialist suggests I try but it sounds like a torture! I can't face going to the gp for a referral to discuss because that's an ordeal and I always work myself up and end up sobbing so they think I'm a nut and I usually walk out with a prescription for anti Ds which I don't think work and
