Hi, I had a lumbar puncture to diagnose csf headache 8 weeks after the birth of my second son, since having the lumbar puncture Ive suffered with chronic pain in m coccyx. Ive tried a diclofenac gel and tried all sorts of prescribed tablets but nothing seems to help. I cant sleep because it wakes me up, I struggle to sit down and have severe pain when bending down to pick my son up. Is there anything else that can be done to help? Vornie
