It's not a big deal, really. I've had 4. One of the doctors was older and was amazing. I could tell he had done many. It will be fine, I promise.

I’ve been thinking about you
Thinking this spinal tap out…. If you remember from high school or college, spinal taps take a sample of your spinal fluid…this fluid is very important to keep our brains lubed, short answer for sure, they are used to evaluate if you have an infection like spinal meningitis and more. Yes I won’t lie I’ve never had one but I’ve heard they are very uncomfortable, which is your body saying get out, right. But if you’re worried about pain? Ask the dr who is performing this how can I make this procedure more comfortable? Maybe ice, Iibuprofen routinely taken if your kidneys are fine you can take upto 3 every 6 hours maybe alternate with extra strength Tylenol? Again these meds are based on healthy organs too!

Now the epidural you feel a lot of pressure & the worst pain you ever will.But when done you will feel relief .Take pain to get rid of pain.Depend on how bad you want the pain to go away

It's nothing to it.. it's a pitch in your lower back and the doctor extract the fluid into a tube. Then it's sent to the lab. It's nothing to stress over.

Ok I’m just a RN but I haven’t heard of spinal taps oooh are you keeping a log of your pain?
