A member asked:
How many days after a spinal tap would a migraine last?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
spinal headache: Usually, the headache gets better over the first few days. Try staying flat as much as you can. If the headache doesn't get better over a few days, you should let your doctor know. You might need a blood patch.
