Subject:   positional headaches for 2 years after lumbar puncture

Message:   I had a lumbar puncture done 2 years ago and had severe spinal headache. Neuro told me to give it a week. It did get better but a week later I developed BPP Vertigo and was left with positional headaches upon bending, straining, yelling etc. Laying down was my method of choice. These headaches could last a month and then I might not have one for a month. Just recently the headaches changed and I had severe headache all day/all nite for 2 weeks. Had MRI done and shows meningeal ehancement. Went to ER for numbness in my leg and face. New neuro gave me anti anxiety and anti depressants and I am not getting better. The headaches I have now affect me when I lay down. I feel that I have a leak is this possible. I gave the doctor a copy of this website and he mentioned it could be a leak, but he didn't think it was cancer, just not sure what is going on or what he is thinking. Thanks.
