A member asked:
I have a post lumbar puncture headache, should i get treated?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends on duration: This depends on the duration of the post LP headache. If you have a headache when upright, that improves when lying flat following an LP that has been present for several days, you should call the doctor and explain your symptoms. Treatment is usually very effective in terminating symptoms in several hours. Lp.
