Mine didn’t. Maybe a headache and a little sore later.

Ok cool. Just sounds intense and my brother told me it will suck

Depends. My wife got multiple failed taps with severe nerve damage as a result. Her legs sometimes give out now and she has extreme nerve pain.

Spinal taps hurt. A lot. They try to numb the area but it still hurts.
