Lumbar puncture caused severe sciatic nerve damage

Loi #1 / 4	Lumbar puncture caused severe sciatic nerve damage More than a year ago, I had a lumbar puncture. Unfortunately, this procedure caused me a great deal of pain and resulted in my sciatic (lumber 5) nerve being damaged. Since that time, I am unable to walk and my low back hurts all the time. I have regular physical therapy and chiropractic treatments. My situation has improved a little bit, but unfortunately, I still cannot walk !! Furthermore, I need a massage for my back everyday, otherwise, I'm not able to sleep !! The pain is simply too much! Does anyone have any ideas or information ? Thank you !

Either the pain is coincidental or the LP was done grossly incorrectly. If they go in at the right place they are nowhere near the nerves you mention. -- CBI, MD "Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it." -Andre Gide

Are you suggesting that a nerve was cut during the procedure? Quote: > but unfortunately, I still cannot walk !!

How about you see a doctor (ie not a chiropractor). ------------------------------------------------------------- The Governor General of Australia, Peter Hollingworth, has put children at risk of {filter} abuse, to protect the Church.
