Hello. I have both degenerative disc both lumber and cervical...spinal stimulators, also l. & c. Also epileptic and fibromyalgia patient. I have been for the last week had a very different feeling migraine, in that I cannot stand without pain getting so bad I am in tears. I am wondering if I could have a spinal leak. I have had my stimulators for nearly 3 years; top one stopped working months ago....could these cause a leak? Peace
Hello! Welcome on Chat Doctor ! I would like to know more about your headache: is the headache triggered by standing up position ? This could indicate possible leaking or endocardia hypotension. As long as you do not have such headache pattern, there is nothing to worry about! Anyway, I would recommend consulting with your attending physician and discussing on the possibility of taking amitriptyline, which would help for headaches and back pain too. Hope you will find this answer helpful! Best wishes,
