Suggest Treatment For Headaches, Shoulder Pain And Blurred Vision

post spinal headache
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for the query to hcm,
POST SPINAL headaches are usually seen till 4-5 days after c-section and hence increased water intake is advised to tide over this most common side effect of anaesthesia. You need to keep yourself well hydrated with 5-6 litres of water daily as dehydration can further increase your headaches and neck aches.
If in next 12 hrs after increasing your water intake , the pain doesn't subside or reduces then you may still consider a blood patch after a local examination by the anaesthesist concerned. A compression bandage at the site of spinal needle puncture shall also help prevent any csf loss , which if at all present.
Neck massage and head massage can give symptomatic relief to an extent but not always. Best treatment remains fluid replenishment and coffee.
Regards
