Brief Answer:
Meningitis is suspicion. Not normal.

Detailed Answer:
Thank you for asking

I read your question and i understand your concern. CSF leak repair recently followed by sore neck and stiffness is not normal and may show early signs of recurrent meningitis. You should talk to your neurologist and let them treat it instantly. It could a post procedural muscle spasm but should be ealuated for meningitis at any cost.

I hope it helps. Take good care of yourself and dont forget to close the discussion please.

Khan
