What Causes Upper Backache After A Spinal Tap Procedure?
My daughter had a spinal tap done bc my youngest had meningitis viral , virus. Now after 24 hours her upper back hurts really bad, we don t know what to do or if we should go back to the er bc they wouldn t do the MRI and just discharged her with some muscle relaxers to take. She can barely move and just wants to sleep. Should we just go or wait and see what happens tomorrow.
