[|Human|] I had a lumbar puncture yesterday and am now experiencing extreme pain in my lower back as well as a lump in the area the needle was injected. I have a headache, pain the the back of my head and trouble with focusing my eyes. Is this normal post lumbar puncture procedures?
[|AI|]  Hi Welcome to Chat Doctor After going through your query I want to say that it is not usual to have headache and back pain and lump following lumbar puncture procedure. But occasionally these can occur. Patients are advised to take rest and analgesic such as ibuprofen for backache and headaches. It is advisable to take a lot of water. It is beneficial in spinal headache. You can discuss with your Doctor about it. Hope your query get answered. If you have any further questions then don't hesitate to writing to us.
