Message: [QUOTE="Citrusdog, post: 1364504, member: 5240"] Thank God you are okay. A leaky spine ...huh?! I've known a few who have leaked a little... (usually due to a spinal tap) ...they were lightheaded, weak and then would get the most intense headaches - after the hole was created - from the needle. Both of my friends were given a blood patch. What this is.... is your own blood is drawn and injected into the spinal cord. It clots (thrombus) and finds it's way to the leaky opening and patches or plugs it. Its pretty effective - immediately back to normal. I am not a doctor, I've never stayed at a Holiday Inn Express - and I have had TBI due to 3 strokes last October. That's 6 INFARCTIONS on the CT scan! So.. don't take my word for it. Word to the wise: Don't let a chiropractor near your neck (ever). I speak to many daily who have had a stroke due to a chiropractor messing with their neck. Trust me on this one - not your chiropractor. [/QUOTE]
