I'm having severe pain in my joints after a spinal tap i received about a week ago. the pain is particularly bad in the joints of both of my hips. ?

Very unusual: Spinal taps are not done routinely, so you must have some serious symptoms to get that test. The only expected side effect of a tap is a spinal headache, which you are not describing. Your symptoms post-tap are more likely related to the problem that resulted in the tap. Follow up with your md.
