“I still have spinal pain after spinal tap?”
I had a spinal tap (lumbar puncture) on the 6th of November, and now it is the 12th of November and I am still experiencing a sore tailbone. It feels pressure-like almost as if I’m still in the procedure and I get zaps of pain that only travel down to as far as my butt. Walking is a little difficult and my pain is managed ok with Tylenol. My question is.. when will this go away?
Laying down feels the worst for it but when I walk it’s the shooting pain (comes and goes). Any ideas? Thank you!
