Had a lumbar puncture on Feb. 11 and the fluid was clear which is good, they called the other day and some of the tests came back good, they are sill waiting for cultures from it and also the blood that took that day. I don't know if I want them to find something or not in the cultures. I keep thinking if they do that maybe there is something more they can do that will help immensely and then I don't want them to find something. I would appreciate any comments on this.
Thanks
Sandy
I’m lost…I don’t know what they are hoping to find or,
Not hoping to find
But let us know! : )
Sandy,
I had two Lumbar punctures after my MVD, as I was having fevers (actually for 8 weeks after my surgery) They were trying
determine if I had a infection, both ruled out an infection but the both showed a very high white cell count. Normally results are back in 3 sets - one after 4 days another after 10 days and the 3rd after 14 days. I would think they should be able to answers now. Why did they do it?
