[|Human|] My 15 year old son recently had a lumbar puncture because he was suffereing from severe and constant muscle cramps in his legs and arms.. Doctors think its as a result of a recent ski trip he went on but wanted to rule out lime disease.. Now it has been a week since the cramps have gone but he has really bad sciatic pain down his keg and back.. Shooting pain.. Is it because f the lp
[|AI|]  Hi, thank-you for providing the brief history of your son. A thorough neuromuscular assessment is advised. As the pain is radiating in nature it could be due to para spinal muscle weakness which might be leading to pinching of the nerve root. Post lumbar puncture due to pain the muscles might be weak and lead to may be such symptoms. Also, taking physical therapy will help improve the physical and functional status as the overall. We usually in our clinical practice recommend physical therapy post this so the symptoms subside and better health is achieved. RegardsJay In Chat Doctor.
