Can an spinal tap cause a ruptured disc?

i had a spinal tap done and found later i had a ruptured disc, could the spinal tap have caused this?

Answers:
Absolutely no possibility of this. It just cannot happen. The spinal tap is done well away from the discs and a needle could not cause a disc prolapse.

nope!!! had 2 of those things. still waiting, 8 years on for my ruptured disc. So put that one to bed AND FORGET ABOUT IT!!
Sure if you head bang too much.
Oh you are talking about a "spinal" tap and not the metal band, Spinal Tap.

lol
