Q: Lumbar Puntures

Hi, I'm 27 years old & since I was I have had a total of 3 Lumber punctures! The thing is since the first one I have always had pain in my lower back leading to pain going down my leg or legs which I was told is syatica?? I have been in hospital for the pain in my back but no one has ever given me a proper explanation. Now over the last month or so I have been experiencing excrutiatingly painful headaches (or maybe the are migraines- I don't know as I have never suffered from haedaches of any sort before) but these are now accompanied with it feeling like something is pulling my hips apart at the bottom of my back along with the feeling that something is streching my legs which is very painful & quite frightening. I have not been to my GP as they will only give me painkillers which is fine short term but this is getting to the stage where I am having these headaches/hip/back/leg pains every couple of days. Does anyone know what this might be or what I can do to stop it???2 Crying or Very sad
