Post Lumbar Puncture

Posted by lmcano989 @lmcano989, Dec 12, 2023

I went in for a lumbar puncture early yesterday morning. They informed me about the headaches, but I don’t remember being informed about the stiff neck and upper back pain. It’s been about 36 hours since my procedure and I cannot stand or sit up without major pain surrounding my neck/shoulders and head. Tylenol is not helping at all. Is this normal or concerning?

Lumar Puncture is risky.

It’s not good to have to many symptoms like that. I would call the place that you had it done. I used to be a nurse.
