What Is The Cause Of Swollen Lymph Nodes?
I had a lumbar puncture yesterday and I woke up this morning with neck pain and swollen lymph nodes and nightsweats. I also have horrible pains in my ankles and leg bones all the way up to my lower back. I'm more concerned about the swollen lymph nodes, is this a sign of infection or is it normal?

Hello!
Welcome on Healthcaremagic!
Your symptoms could be related to an infection. I can not conclude that the infection is related to the lumbar puncture.
Anyway, I would recommend consulting with your physician for a careful physical check up and some blood lab tests (complete blood count, PCR, sedimentation rate, blood electrolytes).
Hope you will find this answer helpful!
Best wishes, Dr. Aida
