hi charlie and welcome to NT,
my LP went very well. it hurt just a little. the dr will numb the skin first.
my LP was done by an MD radiologist as an outpatient procedure in the hospital. it was under a floroscopy machine so the dr can see where the needle is and he can get into the right place as fast as possible.
yes, drink lots of water the day before and try to lay flat after you get home. you will be given instructions when you go home. it is possible to have a negative LP but let's wait for the results to come in. MS can be a diagnosis of elimination so your dr will try to look for other causes of your symptoms.
good luck and keep in touch with us.
