Spinal tap: Not uncommon to get some back pain following lumbar puncture. Tingling a bit less common and should be discussed with her doctor. If there is any weakness or changes in bladder ot bowel function this wiuld need more urgent attention to look for hematoma at site of procedure.

Be seen: It sounds as if this procedure was done recently; you should contact the performing health care provider for further instructions. This is especially the case if there is a diagnosis of a syrinx.
