Lumber Puncture with xray guidance Posted: 08-29-07 06:06am


Hiya, I am sooo scared about going in for a lumber puncture. I had went in for one in June this year and they attempted it 6 times and never managed to get any fluid, they said I may have fused ones, I am now going in again to have it attempted with xray guidance, has anyone had a lumber puncture done this way??? I was in agony for bout 4 days after my visit lumber puncture attempt and dont want to go through the same pain again!!

What is the purpose of the lumbar puncture? Are they trying to give you some type of epidural injection or are they wanting a CSF sample? Can you ask for conscious sedation for the procedure. That is what i would do if it were me.
