    Wanted to post the exact same thing. Experienced that a few months ago. Absolutely horrible. And i think the doctor’s instructions made it worse. They told me to slump together and not round out my back. But after several failed attempts I rounded out my back and it finally went in. But that’s only the beginning. The sucking sensation was so awful. It felt like they were trying to drain my brain.

    I can still feel it.

      Yeah they had me round my back, were pretty clear about it, but this was 30+ years ago so maybe some medical knowledge has come around, but I’ve not heard of it.

      Sorry you had to go through it, sure wish they had a better way to get spinal fluid for tests.
