Spinal tap/spinal headache?
I went to the ER thursday night, because i had extremly impossible headaches, fever, and nausea with stomach-ache in my neck. i had a spinal thump, not one but three since the doctor could not get the fluid on first or second try. I layed in a bed for about an hour after the procedure so they said I wouldnt seize headaches. The results were neg. for menengitis. They told me I had sinisitis. Yesterday the ambulance took me posterior to the ER because everytime I got up I puked, and the headaches were extreme. They did a CT scan and sent me home maxim I have a viral infection. I am so sick I can barley move. Im in the military so every morning I have to bring back my quarters slip verified. Its all I can do to get up and label the drive there. HELPPPP!
Answers: as I type this my head is tilted to the side, to avoid a head ach as I cant stand to live natural life lying down any more. I had a spinal tap one wk ago tomorrow.
These things are the devil, if I knew around these head achs I would never have done the tap. I go back into the hospital the other day and was readmited for one and the same reasons as you, only I was throwing up and couldn't even sit in need getting an instant headach that was the worse ever!! The minute I would lay down it would go away though. Weird.
There is a blood patch they can do that is suppose to steal away this night mare but there is a catch. A unmarked doctor told me he didnt want to do it unless I absolutly had to because they cause extreme, like unbelievably very extreme back and neck paion. Its taking blood from approaching my arm and injecting it into my spin, where it doenst really belong but it patches up where they go in, chances are we have nouns in that hole now and is why we have these headachs. Like you, they have to go in more then once because they couldnt achieve fluid. Nice, huh?
When I was readmitted they gave me another IV and hooked me up to these bags that have water and caffine in them. Then gave me mountain dew, it have the most caffine. Now I am home and given the mountain dew prescription, the caffine is supoose to help the headachs and do something with helping the whole process along.
I'm slowly but surly recuperating. Try doing this. Avoid the blood patch the best you can. The doctor told me its like trading one pain for another, blood patch being the worse misery. E-mail me if you just need to "complain" to someone, I know the need to :) it freshly helps sometimes and most dont really understand.
Feel better friend, I'm sorry we are traveling in duplicate boat. Its a nightmare.
you have to bear it till it goes away.
