Blood Patch?

Alright, I had an OB pt yesterday that a colleague put an epidural in. She has a long history of spinal issues (repaired tethered cord, repaired scoliosis fused from T4-L4). First attempt his epidural did nothing. Second attempt he thought was successful, but produced profound analgesia and was obviously intrathecal. This is a sound and experienced individual placing the epidural. Now she's got a horrible spinal HA. She's also a chronic pain nightmare. I can't reasonably say that doing a... Blood Patch?
