Lumbar puncture

Hi,

I saw a neurologist today, who wants me to have a lumbar puncture. He mentioned something about imflamation - but not sure what…?(these appointments take so long coming then the mind goes blank when I’m in there). If I have MS would this show inflamation in the spinal fluid?

they’ll be looking for oligoclonal bands. Most of MSers do have them, it’s an additional confirmation of the diagnosis (apart from MRI)
