I have headaches everyday. after getting a lumbar puncture headache is worse now neck hurts. what else could it be?

Reactions: Not clear to me, as to why lumbar puncture needed, unless you were thought to have pseudo tumor cerebri. But now it seems you have a post LP headache, which may respond to a "blood patch". Contact your neurologist and get this complication addressed, and get treatment for your "chronic daily headaches". Make Concierge Appt. here if you wish further help.
