No one is to Cheryl.


* after she is all healed up..back to the normal poking and smacking.

Duh? Whuh? I don't understand what you mean by that?

Besides, FG, loves getting on!

Don't cha?

Thanks Holly. I looked at the procedure explanation on 3 or 4 different sites and it looked as if they all use the same procedure which includes injecting dye.

I remember the first time I had a blood patch done and the radiologist wanted to do using the fluoroscope. When I told him no b/c I was allergic to the dye, he freaked. Couldn't figure out how to find the LP injection site. I told him in my most pleasant pain filled voice, it's where the fluid is leaking! Geez! Once he took a look at the site, it was easy to figure out!

I know it wasn't leaking out my back, but it was pretty easy to figure out from the bruise and the site where the LP was done!

Thanks Curious!

cheryl,

it should be the same as when i had my lower back injected.
i didn't think he used dye. and, i've had an LP and they didn't say anything about dye then either.

and it was all done under fluoroscopy.
i had to stop my meds too. and they didn't want me to take aspirin or even my multivits to lessen any chance of extra bleeding. vit e also off limits. can't remember the rationale tho.

i hope this helps with your pain.
will be awaiting your report.
