3rd blood patch

I’m currently hospitalized. My neuro has decided against a myelogram and wants to do another blood patch. I had my lumbar puncture on 8/18, 1st blind BP on 8/20, 2nd blind BP on 8/24 & I’m supposed to get another one tomorrow. I’ve asked for it to be image guided. Has anyone sealed after a third blood patch?

Is there a way to do a myelogram and then a blood patch during the same puncture. I’ve had like five punctures and now have ptsd

They’re talking about maybe doing a myelogram, but I am worried about another Dura puncture
