MRI Procedure: Did You Have to Get a Spinal Tap?

I had a mri then a spinal tap but I was put under anesthesia I diddnt get any headaches afterwards because i laid down as they told me

to answer the other questions, they stuck me once but had to move the needle around a bit and it took maybe 15/20 mins

i got a spinal tap first to check my pressure, it was crazy high. then they moved to the MRI. the tap itself wasn’t terribly painful but then i went to a festival the day after. thought i’d be fine but it was so hot and i got a headache that wasn’t quite a headache, it felt like my brain was like moving around when i turned my head. it hurt but it wasn’t like the worst pain ever. the iih migraines are way worse

I’ve been dealing with this issue for 10 years a spinal tap is only a temporary fix…after 10 years of being on diamox and topax I decided to have the shunt inserted and it helped

They done my mri to rule out Tumors and now I have to go to a Neurologist to find out what has to be done weather it be a spinal tap or med

I got my spinal tap first and then an MRI to make sure the increased pressure I had didn't damage anything. Spinal taps are quick, only a few minutes.

It depends what your doctor decides. Some get medical therapy with diamox and some get serial spinal tap. The number of procedures depends on your condition.
