OMG, I so know this. The triage nurse was asking me questions, I was sitting there writhing in pain crying so badly I could not hear him, and finally I asked, can I please lay on the floor while you ask me these UNECESSARY questions. I can't focus on what you are saying. I have an LP H/A. He got it, and took me to a bed immediately.

Far worse.... FAR, FAR worse. I had bad migraines, and have NEVER experience pain like this, EVER (I would take gall stones over these h/as). I honestly don't think I would go through another LP with the possibility of getting one of these...
I had the blood patch done by anesthesia. They don't do the fluoroscopy. It took them 3 tries. The first time she was rubbing a nerve. She tried to reposition it, but didn't work. Second time, I almost passed out, so they had to stop. Layed down about 5 mins, started again, and it was done in less than 5 mins... I was good and numb by then
