question: A few years ago I went to ER due to a severe migraine. The Dr. attempted to do a spinal tap. After an several failed attempts, at least 10. I refused to let him touch me and no fluid was collected. Since then I suffer from extremely painful recurrent episodes of what I believe is leaking spinal fluid collecting around the tailbone , traveling down into lower hip and thigh muscles sometimes causing abscesses. One episode the abscesses became infected with flesh eating MRSA and almost killed me. Of course for obvious reasons the hospital where this occurred disagrees with this notion. Any thoughts or advise would be greatly appreciated.
