Lumbar puncture 19:49 - Jan 12 with 1404 views

Has anyone else ever had a lumbar puncture done? Had one done on Wednesday (for a research study) but I now have a searing headache, like nothing I've had before. I know this is a common side effect, but I'm hoping it goes away quite quickly!

Had one done when I had meningitis but my brain was a little swollen at the time so I can't say I noticed anything!

Several. I never had any headache afterwards. I'd contact your GP out of hours service without delay.

Well they did warn me I may get a headache. After googling it it also says it's common to get one 24-48 hours after.
I will phone the hospital that did it I think. Just to be sure. I'm trying not to regret volunteering!

Did you have it before you saw the new shirt logo ?

My daughter had one in November and was told by the hospital (Charing Cross) that caffeine helps with lumber puncture headaches - strange as normally you avoid caffeine when having a headache.
