You need the blood patch to stop the head pain. But I lay down for a while after the spinal tap and still had the terrible head pain. Whether you got the head pain because they didn't have you lie down for a while afterward, I don't know.
If the spinal cord or nerves become squeezed, symptoms may include: 1  Numbness, weakness, cramping, or pain in the legs, feet, or buttocks. These symptoms get worse when you walk, stand straight, or lean backward. The pain gets better when you sit down or lean forward. 2  Stiffness in the legs and thighs.  Low back pain.
