I am receiving all sorts of mail about lumbar puctures, etc.
 
My husband had a total of 14 lumbar punctures, and he survived. This is the least of everybodys' problems.
 
The LP just assesses the  cerebral spinl fluid content of whatever they are testing for. Very important. Not a big deal procedure. I have personally seen 5 done on my husband.
