Yes, I assumed coincidence. I just happened to look at my timeline today and thought ... weird :P.
Thanks all!
I think it's coincidence. I had a relapse start within days of seeing my doctor about the weird buzzing in my chin (my first relapse, that led to my diagnosis.)
Residual shock-type feelings in the legs or lumbar region are not unexpected following an LP. Not fun, of course, but not unexpected. Sometimes the cauda equina gets nicked by the needle. That's what caused what you described in me at least. It had nothing to do with my MS.
I've not heard of LP related relapses. As Alex said, you can't rule anything out when it comes to MS (or not MS). I think I'd see it as coincidence.

That is a hard question. Usually LPs do not cause relapses but anything is possible.
