plavix

Avatar n tn After that length of time it is generally believed to discontinue plavix but remain on aspirin. Although plavix and aspirin are anti-platelet agents, plavix has a different mechanism of action that seems to be specialized for drug eluding stent to prevent restenosis. Laviquin is an antibiotic medication! and there is a class-action suit against Laviqiin providers that is currently unresolved.
Avatar f tn I have a question about excluding Ms definitively with lumbar puncture. As some of you know from my recent reports that i had a lumbar puncture done and the results for O bands was negative. My first neuro whom i do not have much faith in organised Mri of brain and lumbar puncture plus various blood tests. He wrote some confusing stuff on his letter regarding my Mri, saying Mri shows scattered T2 hyperintensities in both cerebral hemispheres.
Avatar n tn I was getting better, then they did a lumbar puncture, which was the most pain i have ever felt in my life. Then i was very poorly for 2 weeks in hospital. My blood pressure was very high. Over the next few months i have seen a couple of Neurology Doctors about me feeling ill, faint, sick, feeling dizzy when i stand up, feeling that i was about to faint at any time. I had to give up racing my Go KArt, as when ever i came out of a corner i felt like i was goint to faint.

Avatar n tn I am scheduled for a lumbar puncture and was very suprised that the neuro dept scheduled it for 3pm on a Friday. I thought patients had to lay flat for a certain number of hours after this procedure. The scheduling dept said "Everyone is different if you feel fine you can leave right away if not you can lay down for a while". I've read you are to lay flat to prevent a spinal headache. Please let me know if you are still supposed to lay flat after this procedure.

808815 tn?1254301881 hi im going for a lumbar puncture next week can i ask you all how long it took to get results from this i was told by a friend she got her results 2 months after lumbar puncture surely it doesnt take that long?
Avatar f tn I had my lumbar puncture on Friday. I had to be punctured three times to get enough fluid out for the tests. The doctor said he only got 3 cc's out of the first puncture and it stopped flowing. On the second puncture the numbing medicine wore off and I felt the needle going in. Not sure if that one produced any fluid. The third puncture, lower than the first two, produced the rest of the fluid needed for the tests.
Avatar f tn I have to repeat my lumbar puncture next week. I have read O bands should not present is this true?
Avatar f tn Ok I would like some advice. I got a lumbar puncture on Monday. They had to do it twice because they couldn't get fluid from the first site. I had some back pain but then Tuesday morning it started with the headache. I went to the ER yesterday and they gave me fluids and had me drink a lg coffee. They discussed a blood patch but the anesthesiologist couldn't do it for a few hrs and we were getting a bad storm.

Avatar n tn I had a lumbar puncture five and a half weeks ago, to diagnose meningitis. Before I had the lumbar puncture, I had very bad lower back pain, stiff neck and severe headache. After the lumbar puncture was done, I felt complete relief - no back, neck or head pain - it was like a huge weight had been lifted and all the pressure was gone. I felt the best I'd felt in months!!! However, the next day, the head and neck pain were back, but no pain in my lower back?
Avatar m tn Hello i was a normal healthy 24 year old male who had a lumbar puncture done for dizziness. Ever since my lumbar puncture i have 24/7 leg pains, electrical zaps, muscle twitching, weakness/fatigue and crawling sensations. I've had 2 MRI's and both came out negative. MRI reading is: There is no evidence of paraspinal infections with no significant abnormal contrast enhancement demonstrated. No convincing evidence of dural enhancement or paraspinal hypotension.
Avatar f tn I am not an expert on the connection between a lumbar puncture and Chiari, but I have read somewhere that a lumbar puncture can make a Chiari herniation worse. Something about drawing out that spinal fluid and the pressure possibly making the herniation and symptoms worse. I know this summer I had a lumber puncture to check the pressure. My neurologist thought I had something called pseudo tumor cerebri. My pressure ended up being normal, but I had a terrible spinal headache from a leak!
Avatar n tn Took son to Er for flu like symptoms , normally extremly healthy child, high tolerance to pain .
Avatar m tn It often responds well to analgesics and fluid infusion and can often be prevented by strict maintenance of a supine posture or lying down flat on back for two hours after the successful puncture. You may go through the literature on lumbar puncture procedure or consult a neurologist to confirm this. Hope this helps you. Take care and regards!
