Anyone else with tricky anterior spinal leak?

It's been 1,5 years now that I'm suffering from intracranial hypotension - possible root case a protruding disk and bone spur at T3/T4. Doctors are hesitant to treat it because it's on the anterior side of the spine and it's considered a tricky spot. I had one target and one non-targeted blood patch without full resolution of symptoms.

Does anybody face the same issue? What worked for you? I'm sick and tired of contradictory opinions..
