A member asked:

Having pain behind my eye and standing dizziness. dura was ruptured 4wks ago during lumbar disectomy. could working have caused re-rupture?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Possible: Sounds like you possess a spinal fluid leak (like a post-LP postural headache), and have dropping intracranial pressure when standing, which produces your symptoms. Suggest evaluation for a blood patch, which hopefully, will end the problem
