A member asked:
Had an epidural blood patch, does spinal fluid recover itself?, what happens with the blood that got injected in my dura? does it all go bac to normal
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Blood patch outcome: The CSF replaces itself about every 8 hours. The blood of the blood patch forms a clot near any hole in the dura, otherwise it is reabsorbed and recycled.
