My dad walked into the ER and was admitted into the hospital, after a few days had a spinal tap and now he can't walk.  He is in a wheelchair and sent to Rehab for therapy.  He's been there two weeks and still can't walk.  I am looking for answers.

Hi Guest,

The lumbar puncture (spinal tap) may have damaged some nerves (rare) - OR - the "can't walk" is the result of some other injury or infection.

Talk to the treating physicians.

Good luck.
