Will a spinal thump bleed treat on its own?

my girlfriend had a spinal tap on tuesday night. we be back up to the ER on friday because she has such a horrible headache that she can not stand. they tried iv's & pain meds but she still have the problem. they told her she needed a blood patch done & she would have to come back in the morning. powerfully on sat she felt some better & decided to stay home. sunday she still feel crappy. now she is in even more pain. will the outflow heal itself or should she have the blood patch done?

Answers:    I hope you get some answers and I hope you girlfriend get some relief. I am in the exact same position she is in. I have one done a week and a half ago, my headache went away for a few days and now it have been back for the last 4 days and it is horrible. My doctor told me I could obtain the blood patch any time I want to, I just keep hoping it will go away on it's own. I might be doing the blood patch if it doesn't run away, but I am scared to do it. I look forward to others posting about this so we can get some counsel. Good luck to you, let me know what happens with her.


I forgot to ask, is she sick to her stomach? I own been.
u better ask specialist
