@Cheryl Aw thank you so much, I’m 6 weeks PP and have been putting it off as I didn’t know the risks. I was told I’d have to overnight in hospital and bed rest for 3 days. Was there anything recommended to you like that ?
Does that mean you’ve been having headaches for 6 weeks?? I stayed in hospital for maybe around 3 hours after having the procedure. You stay laying flat for 2 hours and then they like to monitor you while you walk around a bit and go to the toilet. I had mine done mid-afternoon, so maybe if you were to have it done evening/late at night or you’re having uncommon symptoms they might ask you to stay in longer, but this was never told to me. Also I wasn’t advised any bed rest afterwards and didn’t really feel like I needed it either.
Yes unfortunately, I’m loosing the plot with them now it feels like they are getting worse daily. That’s really good to know thank you, I think I will have to get it done but it has reassured me knowing you had a positive experience so thank you for sharing that with me xx
You’re welcome. Best of luck with it x
Hi! I had this on day 5 PP and it worked immediately! Minor back ache when I left hospital which is normal and went away within 24 hours. My headaches were constant and were not manageable with pain killers so defo recommend!
