RE: Lumbar Puncture
i had one a few weeks ago ... i was terrified because i wasnt told what a lumbar puncture was ... i was told they were going to insert a needle to remove some fluid to test for a bleed on my brain .... i actually thought they were going to stick a needle into my brain to draw the fluid :/
but they took the fluid to test for a brain hemorhage or meningitis... turned out i have meningitis and not the hemorhage thank goodness.
not a pleasant experience at all though
