Hi,

I have been unsuccessfully searching all over web for info about recovery time from lumbar puncture (aka Spinal Tap) and blood patch (which was done 3 days after LP due to CSF leak and which took 2x as long for the anesthesiologist to do).

I had these procedures done about 7 weeks ago and still have occasional low back pain, esp. at end of the day. I am--or used to be--very active but that all came to a grinding halt. I have no idea if the pain will ever subside. If anyone has any info or reference to information, I'd truly appreciate the help!
