Q: Neck Stiffness After Lumber Puncture

My mom had a Intraventricular hemorrhage. But she was normal, she was talking and was able to move properly but she was having headache and nausea. Now two days back the doctors performed lumber puncture claiming that it will reduce the headache which she was experiencing. Now she is not having any headache but she is having acute pain in her neck. Whenever she is trying to sit she is having unbearable neck pain. Is this a side effect of lumber puncture and how will it be solved ? can this be solved via medication ? Please do answer my queries as I am not confident on the doctors' competency
