Anyone ever have a spinal tap,does it hurt?
Answers:
You can ask them to give you a little topical anesthetic, but it's still going to hurt. You may also want them to have someone hold you still if you're a person who flinches when something hurts you.
DEMAND that the doctors check your eyes before they do a lumbar puncture. Tell them to rule out increased intracranial pressure before they get the needle anywhere close to your back.
I heard its painful as a motha
Yes, it is very painful...but you'll get thru it
I've had one. The needle hurt like hell, and for two weeks after, every time I stood up, an excruciating pain shot through my head.
