What Causes Headache After Receiving A Spinal Injection?
I had a spinal injection yesterday about 2-230PM. About 10-1030 PM I developed a mild headache which has gotten slightly worse. I took ibuprofen 400mg PO without much effect and am unable to sleep due to the headache. Could this be a mild spinal headache and, if so, what can I do to relieve it?

Hi,
Leakage of CSF after the procedure in the lumbar spine can lead to a headache.
I suggest you consult your treating doctor for clinical assessment and thus management.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
