The difference between you and the other people commenting, is that you already have Arachnoiditis, so invasive spinal procedures will make your condition worse, because of the nature and location of it. You can’t compare your condition and response to an epidural with someone who had one for degenerative disc disease, or any other low back pain condition. When a person with Arachnoiditis has an invasive spinal procedure, it’s like they awaken the beast… the beast is neuroinflammation, and that neuroinflammation will cause progression of the disease, more pain, more adhesions, more mobility problems, more burning pain, and definitely less quality of life. Please don’t let them stick any more needles in your spine, as it will continue to progress your condition each time, making you sicker and sicker.
