I had a Myelogram, Cisternogram with nuc med and Ct scans.  During the procedure I was sedated and slept through the majority of the test.  But, I was awakened in severe pain.  It felt like someone had hit me in the temple and eye with a hammer.  It hurt so bad I started sweating perfusley,  because nauseated.  This is the area of concern for a CSF leak.  I had a Edophatic Sac Decompression and a mastoidectomy. During the Decompression the surgeon nicked my dura, it was seal but I have not been without a headache since 11/30/17.  That’s why they did this test.  

My question is - does anyone know why the dye hurt so severe in this area? 

Thank you in advance.
