Wondering if i am supposed to be really sore after a lumbar myelogram?

Yes: The myelogram is just a needle stick. I assume it was done for a reason. The needle entry point or primary problem could be causing pain. The commonest complaint is headache.

Possible: You may be sore for a few days from the lumbar puncture. Ice the area and take it easy. It should get better quickly.
