I had one of these few weeks ago, and it was the most traumatic experience in my life. They tried 3 times, and it hurt beyond measure. The lidocaine was supposed to be the painful one, but it was like a tickle compared to the punctures.

Then I had a horrible positional headache that lasted a full week. For the whole week I could barely tolerate going to the restroom. And when laying down (only the first 2 days) it ached between my shoulder blades so bad it was painful to breathe. Then for another 3 weeks I started to feel dizzy and weak if I spent over an hour upright.

It was a completely horrid happening

Sorry this happened to you.

This is definitely a horrible experience to have.

You said “between shoulder blades”, was that where they inserted the needle? Mine was way down the spine (near the end)
