Spinal Tap Pain Help?

I had a spinal tap procedure done 5 days ago for severe pain in my neck and head. Since then I have had a severe headache, back pain and heaviness in my legs. Is this normal and should I call the doctor concerning this? Please help me I have never had this procedure done before and I am nervous that I am having a complication. Thank you for your time

Answers:
Hi;You do need to tell your doctor right away.I had the same thing done to me.My doctor told me it is a spinal headache,The reason why is the puncture site did not seal and allowed some air to seep in.Dear good luck.Oh also stay still&layed down.
