Lower back pain
About a month ago I had a emergency c section due to high blood pressure, and the anesthesiologist did a spinal tap, well I was wondering can a spinal tap undo a lower lumbar surgery (on disk L4 and L5). I don't have any plates or screws in my back all I had done to my back was a disk repairs for the disks weren't rubbing on the siactica nerve.
