I had an LP Friday. Yes, I got a wicked headache but it isn't so bad now. Have upped the liquids and caffiene and am eating Tylenol.
My question is did any of you have a painful back as a result of the LP? It seems that the more I sit up or move about the tighter and painful it gets. I can't spend my life laying in bed. Tips please Thanks PS How long for results? The radiologist said a few weeks!!! Yikes.

Hey Janie! I consider myself lucky when I had my LP, as I didn't get a headache at all. I pushed the caffeine and laid around for a day. My site area and back were tender for a few days, but basically I didn't have much trouble. I know others' have had a rough time w/them though. Hope your'e up and about soon; I can't stand laying in bed either.
Take care.

I had pain after the one I had, not from an LP headache but from the fact that the doc went fishin' in my back. I swear he was tugging on my organs! He finally got the CSF on the fifth try!
I did the lay flat for 24 hours. The pain from all the jabs and the organ tugging lasted longer than I laid down, but it was over in a few days. The results did take a few weeks to come back. Hope you feel better soon!!!

I didn't get the headache until 2 days later. It was horrible. My back was sore for about a week after. My doc was fishing in there too.
Kept hitting the nerve that goes to my hip causing my leg to jump and then kept telling me to be still. I don't remember how long it took to get the results.

hi jane,
sorry you're having a rough time. keep resting as long as you have to to decrease the sx's. and, stay hydrated. i'd call your dr if you're not better. and, watch that you don't take over the recommended dose of tylenol. toxicity and liver damage can ensue.
