Hi i am Dr Ahmed Aly
thanks for using HealthcareMagic site ,
I had gone through your question and understand your concerns ..
In my opinion i think you may need some physical activities to prevent pressure on your spine and your back muscles .
Physiotherapy sessions with a good chiropractor , hot massages , spinal straightening exercises and even
yoga is very helpful in most of cases .
Try to avoid heavy lifting , obesity , over weighing , vigorous movements , bad sleeping or sitting postures and you will be fine .
Long term effects may include
headaches ( post lumbar pucture )it may stay for 2 to 3 weeks ,
back pain or discomfort , bleeding or brain stem herniation are the most common effects .
Try to follow previous instructions and if pain persist i recommend
MRI on spine to rule out any kind of spinal injuries like discs or herniation and follow them up with your
neurologist for proper evaluation and management .
