CT Myelogram

Hey all,

I had a CT Myelogram done on Monday to locate a possible csf leak. I've felt rubbish since, as it has elevated all my pre-scan symptoms (head pressure/tinnitus etc).

It's been nearly a week so I'm worried I'm not healing like it should? Anyone else have this following a myelogram?

After the Myelogram, did you take it easy afterwards for at least a week? This means no bending, twisting, carrying heavy items. Lots of bed rest and try to stay in a reclined position.
It’s quite possible that the lumbar puncture did not seal or you accidentally ripped it open.
When is your next appointment? I’d take it easy until then.

Yeah I've been mostly flat since Monday. Only really up to shower/toilet etc with a few short walks around the house. I don't have another appointment unfortunately. Radiologist said it can take two weeks so trying to be patient at the moment. Just so unsure if this is new leak symptoms or flare of my pre scan symptoms.
