HI, LAST NOV. I HAD A SPINAL TAP FOR MENNENGITIS AND I AM EXPERIENCING TERRIBLE MUSCLE SPASMS IN MY LOWER BACK HIPS AND LEGS., THIS IS THE 5 TH DAY AND IT IS LETTING UP WITH METHYLPREDNOISOLONE DOSE PACK AND AN INJECTION OF THE SAME YESTERDAY, BUT SEVERAL PEOPLE HAVE TOLD ME THAT THESE TYPE OF SPASM COME AFTER SPINAL INJECTIONS, IS THIS TRUE?
generally it doesn't happen, but, yes, in few patients it occurs. Anyway it seems your doctor is giving you medicines which shall respond soon, so do not worry. If your doctor considers it necessary he may give you muscle relaxants also. It should subside soonest wishes
