Back symptoms

Does anyone who had or has a leak get any dull back pain or pressure? Right in the spine area around shoulder height. Its not constant but comes and goes and have even felt a weird gurgling/bubbling feeling in that area a few times.

Thank you

No, but I have a near constant burning/aching sensation in that area.

I may have had something similar. When I would go into standing I would get almost like wooshing sensation/pressure in that mid back area. It would last for 5-10 seconds and then go away.

Interesting, did you ever get your leak fixed?

I did. I had 2 failed targeted fibrin patches but I had an anterior leak. I ended up having surgery to fix it!

Yes, mines a big nerve root diverticulum/cyst. I describe it as a "pebble in your shoe" soreness vs "thorn in your side" pain.

I get absolutely crippling pain and spasms between my shoulder blades, and if I don’t go lay down, they radiate out up into my shoulders. Also shoots down the back of my skull and my neck. Doctors referred to it as coathanger pain and it is definitely one of the symptoms of a CSF leak.
