I m trying to connect a series of things health wise that have been life changing, to understand what has gone wrong . I ve been receiving blood patch aprox 1 every 3 months for spontaneous csf leaks. 2 leaks in 2 yrs. Now pain that has led to shots in si joints due to deter of ligaments and bone. Also presenting now with moderate to severe spinal stenosis and seeing pain management for thar. I m a 54 yrs old female. I think I m looking at a convective tissue disorder but may b overreacting. I m in search of a new G.P. because the present one sees no need for any test or reason to look further into this. I m afraid if I do nothing things will only get worse but may just be ageing. Wanting another Dr s opinion.
