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!
