A friend of mine had a spinal tap today and is experiencing some paralysis. Could this be temporary or not?



Answers:
I would call your Doctor/Hospital immediately. Sometimes, the spine will leak after the procedure and can lead to paralysis and/or could be fatal if left untreated.

MAKE THE CALL!

Good luck!

Yes, it could go either way. Time will tell.
