Here are 2 threads where we discussed LP. I had a fairly easy time, others not so much.

Here is what I posted:

I had mine about a month ago, and while it is a little uncomfortable, I really felt no pain. They give you a shot of novocaine or a similar pain killer to numb the site. This burns for a moment. If you have ever had stitches or a mole removed, it is similar to that fleeting pain. The actual puncture was not bad. I think it is simply the thought of someone putting a needle in your spine that is the worse part. I was face down on the table and felt pretty relaxed. It is best to rest for a while right after the puncture to avoid headaches but in an hour I was at the Mall!
Good luck to you.
