It's Been 12 Days Since My (lp) And I Still Feel Pain. Posted: 05-10-07 11:15am
I went to the ER early on April 28th, for
a severe headache and was first sent for a
CTscan, then a Lumbar puncture. The Dr.
who first tried, was unsuccessful, after
the 6th-7th try, I couldnt take it and
told him to stop. Later that morning, I
was told a new Dr. was going to try again.
First of all, I heard him ask who did the
first try, when he heard, he said an ER
Dr. is not supposed to do the procedure.
Secondly, Once I was sent home, I became
stiff and sore. I went to my family Dr.
Monday, April 30th. He prescribed me
282mep's and sent me for blood tests, he
also was not happy at the amount of
puncture wounds on my back. Well here it
is, May 10th, and I am still having lower,
middle AND upper back pain. I cannot walk
without sharp pains at the site where they
gave the LP. Is this normal, and if not,
why is it still sore sore. Also is it
normal for it to feel like I have an
epideral going into my back when I take a
breath in, (popping cartilage).

It can take a few weeks to calm down. Just
rest more during times of pain and get
someone to do some very light massage on
your lower back (nothing that involves any
hard pressure though).
