Jeez! I wonder if we had the same neuro!

My one and only LP was an absolute disaster. It took the guy 5 tries, I was begging for the fluoroscopy, I had to sit on the table and lean forward, turned into a drawing board beforehand, etc! I could feel him digging around for the cord. It truly felt like someone had their fingers on my spinal cord and was tugging on it!

He finally got in and said" it's running very slow and I yelled "DO NOT TAKE IT OUT!!!!"

I very calmly asked if there was anything I could do to help speed it up and he nervously said " you could laugh"...and I lost it laughing. He was as nervous as I was! Spinal fluid shot all over the place and we got the sample, but I will NEVER have another one.

Sorry to hear yours was so bad! I certainly hope he got what he needed and that you never have to go through that again!
