Pinching Pain In Back, Difficulty In Movement. Have Sciatica Nerve Issues. Had Lumbar Puncture Recently. Normal?

I had a lumbar puncture on Weds, today, saturday I am still having pinching pains in my back. I have sciatica nerve issues from an injury, could it be sciatica acting up? I'm very uncomfortable and in pain. I I haven't slept well since the lumbar puncture. It hurt to to change position n stand after sitting a short time. Is this normal? My pain is at a 9. What should I do??

Hi, you had lumbar puncture on wednesday, after 3 days you are still having pain , more on change of position, and it is severe. You had sciatica as well. There may be no relation between these two.
If the pain is at the site of the L.P. you should consult your doctor immediately, it may be injury, or infection. Thank you.
