| lumbar puncture |
A procedure performed to assess if your disease has spread to the cerebro spinal fluid (CSF) which bathes the brain and the spinal cord. Lumbar Puncture is performed with you lying on your side, curled up in a foetal position. Local anaesthetic is injected into the skin over the area where the spinal needle is inserted. After the procedure you must lie flat for a few hours to prevent headache which may occur due to the change in the fluid level in the CSF.

| lumbar |
The ribless region of the mammaliform body between the thorax and sacrum. Related to lumbus, Latin for loins, as in the often-used Biblical phrase succingere lumbos (to gird up [one's] loins). Somehow, between classical and medieval days, the meaning of the word seems to have shifted from front to back, so to speak.
