Hello! My Girlfriend Had A Spinal Tap 4 Days Ago

Hello! My girlfriend had a spinal tap 4 days ago (on a Wednesday). 2 days after (Friday) she was experiencing spinal headaches.

They are debilitating migraines that are relieved almost immediately after laying flat. We tried waiting 2 more days to see if it would get better but today (Sunday) she is still experiencing the headaches.

How much longer should we wait before trying to schedule an epidural blood patch or can we schedule one for as soon as possible? She would obviously like this to be over as soon as possible as not only is it painful/inconvenient but she wants to miss as little work time as possible.

Thanks!
