Has anyone had a blood patch for their migraines?

Posted by mikayla @mikaylar, Nov 1, 2025

Neurologist is trying to determine if I have a leak in my spine causing my constant headache and dizziness for 6 yrs/2 mos. I have had 6 blood patches over the years. Has anyone else dealt with this?

@mikaylar- Keep on them to get seen ! It's amazing how long it takes to get in to see a doctor now days. If someone referred you to a neurologist you could see if they could mark it as urgent since it has been going on so long. That helped for me ! Good luck

Thanks Sara. I now have all 4 MRIs rescheduled because the hospital that did them screwed them up.

I have had 6 and might be having another. It would be for a CSF leak. Can anyone tell me that it ha worked for them. My first ond many years ago worked after 5 weeks, but the headache came back in 2 years. I am talking a constant, nagging headache all day/all the time with dizziness. Help!
