Has anyone else had a lumbar puncture/spinal tap?
Wat was the pressure?
Answers:
Are you asking about the pressure that was measured by the doctor? Or the pressure that you felt?
The pressure that was measured by the doctor is called the opening pressure. If you are lying on your side when the pressure of the cerebrospinal fluid is measured, normal values are 5-20 cm of water.
It is normal to feel some pressure when the procedure is done. The ligaments that hold the vertebrae together can be pretty tough, and it sometimes takes some pressure to get the needle to go through them.
I hope that answers your question.
I have not had one, but my brother has and apparently it hurt like hell. Sorry, this probably didn't help you.
