Arachnoiditis: Trying to find a specialist

I've had arachnoiditis since 2012. It has been a tough fight and doctors that have any idea how to help are almost impossible to find. I finally found a doctor that wasn't just saying they knew what the disease was. He actually does. He implanted a pain stimulator which is helping quite a bit. He's in Tennessee so not real close to your location. Do not let a bad doctor implant a pain pump. They are only making money off of you and not trying to help That isn't for our disease. I hope that helps.

What pain med does give us some relief? I'm in a wheelchair now, cannot walk because pain is so severe. What can relieve this pain?
