Has anyone else who has had a c-section had problems with the spinal tap afterwards??? We came home from the hospital Sunday and Inwas back in the hospital yesterday due to what they call a Spinal Headache. They had to go In and do a Spinal blood patch where they took 20 cc's of my blood and put it in my spine to patch the hole and it was suppose to stop my headache but it didn't. I woke up in severe pain this morning still from this and they can't so another spinal patch bc it can cause the blood to compress my nerves and paralyze me so the doctor told me to drink lots of caffeine and take caffeine pills. Any suggestions on how to fix this??? I cant hold my son like I want to bc I cant sit up due to my head feeling like it is going to explode when I do. This is so aggravating and makes me cry bc all I want to do is hold my baby boy and I can't right now!!!!

I had the same thing happen when I had my daughter almost 8 years ago. They let some of my spinal fluid out when I got an epidural. I ended up with a condition called pseudotumor cerebri. I've had many medications to help with it and been with a neurologist. Topamax 100mg twice a day and losing a bunch of weight and they think I'm finally resolved/healed. I had to have one or two lumbar puncture every year one time they tried to be helpful and take extra fluid to reduce the pressure headaches and took to much. So I ended up with a spinal headache and getting a blood patch. It took the worst of it away. Don't ignore this follow up with your ob or go to the er it can lead to alot of things. I'm not trying to scare you just letting you know because I have gone through this. Message me if you want I'm here for whatever
