I had an epidural 19 months ago. Leak confirmed on mri 3 months later after a lot of gaslighting. Since my patch I developed floaters and visual snow. Got a second patch no change. I have head pressure in temples and back of head intermittently. All MRIs show resolution. Spine and brain. But my symptoms are head/ face pressure. Intermittent occipital pressure. Tinnitus visual snow and afterimage. I’m begging for a third patch but neuro radiology is declining bc they want a ct myelogram first but I know iatrogenic leaks don’t show on ct myelogram and I’ve been fighting my neurosurgeon on that and me not wanting to create another leak from it

Got a leak from epidural. I was gaslit for three months being told it was postpartum anxiety and headaches. Finally got an mri that saw fluid. Was given bloodpatch. After the bloodpatch I went into high pressure I got visual snow and floaters. My tinnitus that was caused by the leak improved after patch but didn’t go away. Eye pain went away pretty quickly.
Got another patch 4 months after first and no change to any symptoms.
Still get intermittent headaches. Still have the visual symptoms. The lightheadedness has finally gone away after a year and half after the first patch.
I have had over 20 MRIs brain and spine that all show resolution when compared to the first one that saw the leak. Do I try another bloodpatch?
