i'm sorry that i didn't see this while you were asking. i'm wondering if you got the epidural. I think it's probably wise of the surgeon to have you steer clear of getting one while you have an active CSF leak. I'm not a doc, just someone who also had a leak. You might find a good pain anesthesiologist to help you figure it out. But if you're still considering an epidural, I'd recommend at a minimum talking with a doctor who gives these spinal injections all the time. I had a procedure called a "blood pacth" repeated twice after my spinal leak. Apparently that is supposed to work well but did not in my case. But your leak was caused by surgery and perhaps that's why they had to go in and fix it. It sounds like you have 2 dsitinct things going on. Is your leak fixed now? Did you stop leaking? That glue procedure is supposed to work well.

be well. and post when again you can.
