I had one of these done back in 2019. My pain management doctor at the time put a spinal cord stimulator the trail up my spine and immediately after I woke up I knew I wasn't okay. I was in the hospital for 3 days and nobody knew what was wrong. Finally my dads best friend who is a neurologist figured out what was wrong after my dad called him and told him all my symptoms. He said I had a cerebral spinal fluid leak from the spinal cord stimulator and I was almost left paralyzed by 2cm. They did an epidural blood patch and I was so much better. Before I had immense migraines, eyes were sensitive to light, couldn't walk, sit upright, I was vomiting. It was horrible and a traumatic experience 😅
Elle I am so grateful this worked for you. Im also saddened the spinal stimulator went wrong. Ive suffered from disabling severe positional H/A w/naseua photosensitivity, etc for almost forty years following a bad accident with incomplete spinal injury (didnt sever the chord). Ive had numerous spinal repair surgeries over the decades, but no relief from the awful headaches. Theyre of course not typical migraine and since last cervical fusion are much worse. Im always glad to hear of positive outcomes for patients. I dedicate much of ky life and time to heloing pain patients, Ive long ago given up hope for my own relief. Sfay healthyʻand have a low pain day!
I had knee surgery (ACL repair), during which they had given me Spinal anaesthesia, I was discharged the next day of surgery. Now I have orthostatic headache, for 3 days. Doctor says I will be recovered in 2 days after CSF fluid is regenerated but I don't understand because CSF is replaced naturally every 7-8 hours, but still now it's already 3 days No improvement, I can't stand upright it's becoming very painful. Had I known my fate would turn so bad I would not gone for ACL repair , would managed with torn ACL. This happened in Bhubaneswar.
Hi Dr. Four days ago I had a myeogram for my lower back and within an hour I was starting to get neck and head aches. The worst was yesterday. The only time I got relief was when I’m in a resting position. When I’m up the pain the neck and head start up within seconds. Driving? Forget it. Any bump and the pain shoots up. Somebody told me that there’s a swelling in my neck. Is this normal? Should I consult a doctor or should I ride this one out? Thanks.
Did that patient whom you gave epidural blood patch is treated completely. Is he now upright headache free? Usually these procedures are done under flouroscopy guided. What type and size of needle used for this patient
@@icubbsr tx, how did we diagnose leak site or it was blind epidural blood patch. What was the cause of this spinal csf leak in this patient. At what level and how much blood injected.
Blood is injected to the spinal area so that once it gets clotted, it will seal the hole in the spinal area.This is the cause of headache as CSF leaks out through the hole.
Sir I had a surgery 10 days before in my leg. After getting spinal anaesthesia I felt severe headache after 24 hours. The headache was unbearable. But the doctor said it will be fine taking fluids. So I discharged from the hospital and after that I am having severe headache till now and sometimes feel better. My forehead is so hurt . It has been 10 days but no recovery . Sometimes I feel I will be mad . What to do now sir help me . I can't। bear it more.
I am facing a spontaneous intreancial hypotension (CSF LEAK) in my vertebrae in c5-c7 and my Doctor told only to bed rest but it is not giving relief to me so please suggest alternative treatment for this
Hello sir! I had undergone spinal anaesthesia about 4 days back and I'm having post spinal headache. In how many days will I get total relief from this problem? Please help sir.
Dear Rishiraj...sorry for the delay, hope you are fine now. usually in >90% cases the headache gets relieved by opioid medications, hydration and rest.Epidural blood patch is a last resort.
@@icubbsr Thanks for the reply sir! I recovered within a week after my surgery. My doctor too advised the same. So I took enough rest and suddenly one day it was gone!
Rishiraj Bhadra please send your number, because meri wife ko C section se baby hua hai or operation ke 2nd day se uske sar or gardan me bahot dard hai 3 din ho gaye abhi thik nahi hua hai, aapse thoda advice leni hai plzz

I’m still having a headache sometimes after my blood patch. before it was severe headache. How long does this headache last? Or I need to go back
Did that headache go away? I just had a blood patch and my headache is now dull and tolerable but still want it gone soon
@@Forenti how are you doing? Have you recovered?
I’ve had a blood patch as well and I’m still having slight headaches , wondering how long is this suppose to happen .
They did a large volume lumbar puncture and 4 days later im still suffering from headaches. Considering getting this done
It works
There is any side effect
Did that patient whom you gave epidural blood patch is treated completely. Is he now upright headache free?

Luckily he became better after this... it's done just like an epidural procedure,not much gazettes used.
@@icubbsr tx, how did we diagnose leak site or it was blind epidural blood patch. What was the cause of this spinal csf leak in this patient.
At what level and how much blood injected.
Kiya blood patch treatment 1 bar karna hota hai ya bar bar?
wat the process inject blood in spinal area???can u expalin for what
Blood is injected to the spinal area so that once it gets clotted, it will seal the hole in the spinal area.This is the cause of headache as CSF leaks out through the hole.
@@icubbsr this is venous blood?
What are the negative effects of blood patch
It feels like hell and your back will probably feel stiff indefinitely
Pq recolocou o mandril na agulha antes de retirar do paciente? Agora aí eu vi …. Kk
Nice video, how much approximately does this treatment cost?
It's done rarely...for refractory headache cases...at Apollo hospital it will be around 15K
I had one done today..
@@paulomeara8676 how is your feed back after treatment done
Why this beat so hard ?
Right beat is banging tho lol 😆
Yep I had 2 of these
Is this risky
Need to perform under strict aseptic precautions...
Had this done today
Is it painful?
@@raylupa9313 no they numb it up you can just feel pressure from them moving the needle

you should get into contact with your doctor and tell them exactly what has happened to you. I hope you find treatment
Bro same condition please replay. How are you now? Did it resolved on its own?
I am facing a spontaneous intreancial hypotension (CSF LEAK) in my vertebrae in c5-c7 and my Doctor told only to bed rest but it is not giving relief to me so please suggest alternative treatment for this
This may work but need to be analysed by a neurologist and performed by an experienced anaesthetist as you had problem in the cervical area.
@@icubbsr I had consultant with my neurologist and he himself told me to rest for 3-4 month but headache is intolerable
