Guest guest Posted June 4, 2002 Report Share Posted June 4, 2002 Hi Margaret, I have had several spinal taps, or lumbar punctures. Most of the time, its just uncomfortable. For me due to my high pressure (Pseudo Tumor) I have to lay on the table over an hour. So it gets pretty tiresome. Once in a while they will hit a nerve, and this will hurt pretty good, but will subside very rapidly. I must say there have been times, when I have wanted to ask Dr. Frim to sedate me, but so far have chosen not to. Dr. Frim is my surgeon also. I got to see him on June the 6th! Good luck to you!
