Default Blood Patch Question - Help
Blood Patch was yesterday - I layed low just like I was told - this afternoon I bent over to tie my show and I felt a pop in my back in the area of the patch.

Is there any chance that could of come open again?? I am so scared of that now.... once it is healed is it healed?

gosh I don't want to go through this again.....

What's going on, Char? How are you feeling now?

Will you please take it easy? I am worrying about you doing too much.

I'm not sure you would feel a "pop" if the blood patch came loose. My guess would be that a pop like that would be from tight lower back muscles. So, here's to hoping that is all it is.

You seriously should really be resting. A blood patch after an LP is no walk in the park. I had to have that done and I really hurt.

You should call the doc and see if it could be related. Especially with your ears bothering you. Let us know what they say.

I am sending you healing thoughts your way. You have been through way too much lately!!!!

Char, how are you. Did you find out what the pop was?

I just chatted with her and she is home resting. She talked to the doc and was told it could take her a week to recuperate from all the trauma she's been through in the last week....

So our little lambchop is resting...no more tying shoe laces!!!!
