It was tried for a post dural puncture headache. There was difficulty finding a vein to start i v ( possibly due to hydration). Also difficulty finding a vein to withdraw blood. No sedation used. Local anesthesia to lessen needle pain. Extreme pain/ body spasms upon injecting blood (10+) lasted throughout procedure (stabbing pain down both legs, base of skull, back of neck and top of head of head.bo Dr. observed then ordered fentanyl unknown dosage, by i v. which lessened pain/ spasms to 9.5 level. Pain & spasms ended upon completion of procedure. Procedure &/ or fentanyl left me unable to track or respond to questions asked. Tiredness, memory loss & verbal responses still experienced 3 days post procedure. Blood pressure, oxygen, temp, & all other vitals normal. Pain levels are still elevated( +7) where pain was experienced during procedure. I have not heard of complications of this type and what factors were involved.
