<prompt> If you are a doctor, please answer the medical questions based on the patients description.I had a lumbar puncture last night ruled out meningitis. ER gave me IV antibiotics and steroids for a bacterial infection and I feel so much better. My daughter had previously schedule me, a teacher, a nice back to school massage in two more days. Is that safe this soon after having the spinal tap?  <response>: Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted that you had a spinal tap to rule out meningitis. So, I assume that the reports were normal. In most cases, we do not expect any problems after a spinal tap. However, in some cases, there may be a headache, which becomes more in upright posture sitting or standing. If you do not have any headache, you can safely resume all daily activities. I hope my answer helps. Please get back if you have any follow-up queries or if you require any additional information. Wishing you good health, Chat Doctor. Ly
