What Are The After Effects Of Lumbar Puncture?

my 33 yr old daughter had a lumbar puncture in the ed 1 month ago. She was hospitalized forr a week with severe head ache, and left leg pain. She had a blood patch done by an anesthesiologist. She still limps some, has been getting better, but now has loss of bladder control, muscle spasams in her r. leg only and intense groin pain on that side, as well as neuopathy. Her dr. s are rather evasive. She has had CTs and MRIs, no emg as of yet. Any reccomendations would be helpful.

Hello,

A lumbar spine MRI is the main test in such cases. Anyway, nerve conductions studies is necessary considering the right leg spasms and pain.

Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
