Hi. Thanks for your query. Read the history and understood the problems. Transforaminal epidural was given, now has spinal headache, ask to Chat Doctor.  The probable reason looks that while giving transforming epidural, there might have been a trauma to the nerve roots and that is causing the symptoms you have. The leakage of the spinal fluid causes headache. I Would advise you the following:Admission to the hospital for Intravenous fluids, antibiotic in anticipation to avoid a secondary infection. Caffeine is given in the tablet forms so that you get a nice control;. Bed rest in the hospital can help the best.
