Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I was wondering if anyone knows about the cerebal spinal fluid pressure? My Neurologist said he was going to check the pressure of the spinal fluid and during the procedure I heard them say pressure of 20. I checked on line and the information that I found for the spinal pressure was 50-180. If my pressure is 20 what does that mean? Is something else wrong with me? What other diagnoses could that be? I look forward to hearing back from anyone that can enlighten me on this subject.

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I know I have a condition called Chiari I , that basically means my cerrebelum protrudes too low and pushes on my spinal column, and that affects spinal fluid flow/pressure, but i dont know details like how much it should be, or what else would cause low levels.. My doctors havent even told me much about my Chiari, so I know very minimal about the subject period. Did they say anything else? Why were they testing you for it? > I was wondering if anyone knows about the cerebal spinal fluid > pressure?

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 I was told my the nurse at the hospital they were testing for 10 different things but she didn't know what they were or wouldn't tell me what they were. He did the spinal tap to check the spinal pressure, I know that for sure. I wake up with headaches everyday and they never seem to go away. Debra B Re: SPINAL PRESSURE????

Guest guest Posted May 8, 2008 Report Share Posted May 8, 2008 Deb, has had many spinal taps done and I have never heard anything about spinal pressure, so I'm sorry that I can't be of any help to you. Have you tried to use Google or Ask.com to see what they say about spinal pressure? I'll go ahead and look and see if I can find out anything, because you sound like you are in a lot of pain, and might not be feeling up to doing it. Love and gentle hugs, Debi/55-CA **************Wondering what's for Dinner Tonight? Get new twists on family favorites at AOL Food.

Guest guest Posted May 9, 2008 Report Share Posted May 9, 2008 Thank you Debi!!!! I have looked it up on Google and there are so many things it " could " be. I have an appointment with my Neurologist next week (the one who ordered it) so maybe then I will know. If you find anything though please forward to me directly at dirkfan2@...
