Questions from patients about pain conditions, analgesic pharmacotherapy and responses from authors are presented to help educate patients and make them more effective self-advocates. The causes and presentation of postdural headache is described in response to a query from a patient about this syndrome and its management. The normal clinical course and management using a blood patch are discussed.
