Contact LP doctor: As others have said- these symptoms are uncommon in an otherwise, uncomplicated LP. Nevertheless, if your symptoms are escalating over the past 2 weeks and simple measures of hydration, OTC analgesics, & using a pressure dressing over the LP site are not giving you IMPROVING relief then, I recommend you contact the doctor who performed the LP because they may wish to examine you or obtain a study
