A spinal tap. It felt like a toothache in my entire body while a demon choir sang in a high pitched whine.
When I was 11 there was a chance that I had contracted meningitis.
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.
