A member asked:
Is it safe to do strenuous work with bilateral papplidema before the lumbar puncture or could the spinal fluid pressure cause further problem?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Papilledema: I trust that a neurologist is involved in your care as a lumbar puncture can be dangerous if increased intracranial pressure is present. Also, strenuous exertion can aggravate increased intracranial pressure.
