Hello my name is TAO and I am 37 year old women in good health.. I am athelic and in shape.. I have 5 children and never ever had a problem with any epidual or for that matter no problems in birthing any of my boys I had a l4 l5 disectomy on Nov 10 and 6 weeks later had my first spinal fluid leak I have now had 4 since then. They have done a blood patch no success. Then they used the derma glue as well as did the procedure with using some of my muscle tissus to make a graph on the area. I started this process on Nov 10 and have had 5 procedures since none have truly worked because I continue to spring new leaks in that area. I am at a total loss. I feel as if no one really knows what to do with me and continue to just try to fix me. I now have a pouch on my back again filled with fluid and I feel like a ticking time bomb wating on the inevitable. The pain in my legs and the headaches are horrific but I know the bottom will soon fall out again where I can not longer even sit up.. This process has been terrible and so fruxtrating because I feel that no one can fix me. Does anyone have suggestions for me before this spinal fluid spot burst again. I have never had fluid come on the outside of my wound it is always inside.. Pleae help.. TAO ***this post is edited by moderator *** *** private e-mails not allowed **
