I am unsure about my neruo...and today made me even more unsure.

I was scheduled for a Lumbar Puncture in the neuro's office, she wasn't able to get a sample. She tried for over an hour. She poked me at least 7 times with the numbing medication that burns, but she went in with the lumbar needle almost 30 times. I felt like a voodoo doll...jolts of pain down my legs, across my butt, in my groin, my spine, my tail bone...it went on for an hour. She never did get any fluid. I have to reschedule with radiology.

Is this common?
