i am going on 7 days with a spinal headache. it started after a routine lumbar epidural injection that i recieve monthly with breaks every 3 months. i literally cannot sit or stand upright. i have been confined to laying flat on my back and gorging myself with mountain dew for caffeine! my doctor insisted that he did not puncture that membrane but my symptoms prove differently. this is the absolute worst pain i have ever experienced. in the past 6 days i have gotten out of bed maybe 4 times for the restroom. it shouldnthave to be so difficult to get a doctor (the dr. who did this to me in the first place) to listen and take action sooner than 7 days later. my husband has called almost every day to explain my symptoms are worsening. finally this morning the dr.'s nurse scheduled me for a blood patch tomorrow. i have my fingers crossed that it will work. i havee been terrified of what this could be doing to my body and the pain is worse than anything i could have ever imagined! i pray that i will be healed tomorrow.
