I had a spinal tap on February 1st, and for the last two weeks, I have been having back pain and sometimes severe leg pain, which started after heavy house cleaning. I am taking Ultracet and Raberite 20 mg for pain and Amigaba for migraine. Is this treatment enough, and should I take bed rest for a few days?
Back and leg pain after heavy activity is more likely due to muscle strain than the spinal tap done weeks earlier. Short term rest may help, but strict bed rest is not advised, as gentle movement supports recovery. Use pain relief only as prescribed and avoid heavy lifting for now. Consult a doctor if the pain is severe, spreading, or associated with weakness or numbness.
