Side effects from spinal tap? i can't move around much due to shooting pain from neck down...it's been 3 days; what should i do?

You need to be seen: While it is possible to have side effects of a spinal tap last, the time since your examination is long enough to cause some concern. Call your doctor and discuss this problem. Measure your temperature prior to the contact.
