  • This is kinda funny dont you think "Learn the correct way to perform a lumbar Puncture." hahaha like if a doctor thats gonna sleep your legs is watching this in front of you while poking you with a niddle, would't you shoot shit on his face out of panic?.

  • Sorry about your experience. Headache is common if the lowered CSF pressure is not countered by lying down.Thats THE only post procedure advice anyone really needs, i guess.

    Lie down for a day or so.

    Most people do understand other things like keeping the puncture area clean and dry.

  • The lumbar punctures I've seen done use a fluoroscope to assist in guiding the needle. Takes a lot of the guess work out of it.

  • What age do you get this

  • That's the anaesthatis way of giving a spinal. Most of the rest of us also use a local anaesthetic before introducing the LP needle

  • @medicaleducation The recommendation is supine postition for 1-2 hours. Not more, not less. Post LP headache is poorly understood.
