My daughter had a CT scan of her head and then a spinal tap in the ER. The CT scan came back normal and the spinal tap was negative for meningitis. Her symptoms were headache, neck pain, nausea, vomiting and 100 degree fever. The doctor said her white cell count was elevated and prescribed Cipro and something to relieve the nausea, then sent her home. This was 2-3 weeks ago. Now she is complaining of lower back pain and pain in her thighs. Is this due to the spinal tap and will symptoms now eventually go away. We are now concerned something has developed that will be permanent.
