A member asked:
Would a spinal headache definately go away on its own?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Most likely: Postdural puncture spinal headache usually resolves by itself, even untreated. It takes 5-14 days for most people. However, one of things you hear when studying medicine is "never say never". Exceptions are possible.
