Could i develop spinal headache 3 wks post lumbar suurgery. positional pain x3 days and a runny nose, when should i become concerned about a csf leak?

Ans: Most common to have issues right after a surgery not 3 weeks out. Sounds like you are more worried than having actual symptoms. Don't create issues for yourself. Move on
