    Just had a baclofen pump

    I just have a baclofen pump July 18th. I am still getting a spinal headache 4 days later. What should I do about it and what should I look out for? I am hurting. Please help

    I assume you've already tried high caffeine drinks and over the counter pain relievers.

    Call your doctor. You may be able to get a "blood patch" that will stop the headache completely in 20 minutes. He may have to refer you to a pain management specialist.

    The doctor draws 10 cc of blood, then injects it into the epidural space in your spine. It closes the holes in the dura matter of the spinal cord. I had to have one after a lumbar puncture. Sounds kind of weird but it works.
