What Causes Stiffness In The Neck And Soreness In The Shoulder?
Hi my wife had a spinal tap Wednesday morning, and is experiencing a stiff neck and upper shoulder soreness. She is concerned it could be effects from having the spinal tap. She awoke tonight, to having diarea and dizziness, like she was going to pass out. She had the spinal tap to rule out MS. as she was found to have leisunes on her brain during a Cat scan.

Hi,
the symptoms you are telling could be due to the spinal tap, as some amount of spinal fluid is normally lost in such cases, that can cause headache. more concerning thing would be infection introduced by the tap, and for that your doctor will see and give you medication specific to your need.
Hope that helps.
