A member asked:
What do you advise if i had lumbar puncture?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lumbar puncture: The advice is mostly based on why the procedure was done. The key advice is to discuss with the physician why the procedure was done, were there any unusual results for findings and do you need any further treatment for the reason the puncture was done.
