Neurosurgeon: I feel that neurosurgeons have the most expertise with csf leaks and would be best qualified to answer your question. I do know that coughing, sneezing, straining and heavy lifting are to be avoided as much as possible.

CSF leak: Agree with answers provided, also consider pneumococcal vaccine and other vaccinations required, as this is considered an immune compromised state (A natural barrier is weakened), wish you wellness
