Can A Spinal Headache Cause A Brain Injury?

I had two lumbar punctures that resulted in CFS leaks and spinal headaches. I am having extreme vertigo, nystagmus has now been diagnosed. This morning I woke with my left arm paralyzed. It was not asleep no tingling occurred but after about 30 minutes I was able to move my arm again. Can a spinal headache cause a brain injury and is it always evident in an MRI. Hearing balance tests identified the nystagmus.

Hi welcom to H C m
I have gone thru your query regarding brain injury ?

As you have gone thru process of lumbar punctures that resulted in CFS leaks and spinal headaches and again having extreme vertigo, nystagmus .

Dear , all your symptoms are the outcome of your process . Our body works as a unit , derailment of one part affects the other adjoining parts and in broader sense , the whole body is affected in some way or the other .

When our body undergoes any sufferings , our brain which contains our mind , is first to be affected ,as our mind and body are dependant on each other .
Infections after surgery or trauma can lead to meningitis and serious complications, such as swelling of the brain

Symptoms of infection (fever, chills, change in mental status) that occur after surgery on the brain or spinal cord or a lumbar puncture are a medical emergency and need to be treated with antibiotics.

The involuntary eye movements of nystagmus are caused by abnormal function in the areas of the brain that control eye movements.

Certain drugs or medication , antiseizure medication, excessive alcohol, or any sedating medicine can impair the labyrinth's function.

Complete bed rest for several days is usually recommended. Drinking increased fluids, especially drinks with caffeine, Simple nourshing diet ,containing all essential nutrients in right proportion & lot of water , can help slowly .
Get enough sleep. Get daily exercise & eye exercises . Anulom Vilom , Bhrammari ,Omkaar Naad , meditation and positive thinking , all help recover fast and bring you on right track and help strengthen immunity to be able to live healthy ,disease free life ahead .
Depression is common. Psychological counseling and medication can help.
