Lumbar puncture. It just didn't work. I was told I might be too heavy for my neuro to be able to do it. He jabbed me about 40 times. I curled up in a fetal position and arched my back toward him the best I could...no such luck.

I am awaiting a call to have the LP done with fluoroscopy (xray). It is supposed to be much easier. We should have just planned on it in the first place.

It was different having my back hurt instead of my head. It was a treat, actually. I much prefer a back ache to a headache.
