A member asked:
If the opening pressure from my lumbar was 37 and they took it down to 11, is that bad and what does that mean for me?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diagnosis?: An opening pressure of 37 is dangerously high. But the question of what it means depends on why it's high. You didn't give us a diagnosis--a cause of the high pressure. If they don't know the cause, they need to find out.
