we have no idea, my newly aged 14 yr old daughter had all flu symptom's but severe neck pain so we did a lumbar puncture last Wednesday, today is monday and her head still hurts. we went back to the er on Thursday and received 2 shots in either arm with morphine for pain as she was now crying hysterically from the pain. it did relieve the pain enough that she was loopy but acting normally. they released her and gave us a prescription for morphine syrup, as she cant take pills. it really helped her catch up on much needed sleep, no blood patch was performed at advice of er doctor. so...here we are with the first day of school looming tomorrow and a headache that keeps her from sitting up, now 6 days later..help....

∙ 12y agoI had the severely awful post spinal headache for days and could not sit upright, when I finally went into ER the doc gave me an IV bag full of caffeine. That strangely enough at the time is exactly what took it away. That was there protocol and it was successful along with the pain med. it was the most awful headache I have ever felt, must go to ER.
