Arachnoiditis: Trying to find a specialist

I've have AA n have been to the pain clinic. My legs go into uncontrollable muscle spasms. Pain clinic would like to put a HF10 spinal stimulation device in me. Has anyone had success with this? There is only "hope" that it will control spasms. I've had several gun shot wound (vietnam) and 7 back n neck surgeries, so why should I allow them to cut me again which they say caused the AA to begin with? Any suggestions beside pain pills?

Do NOT allow them to implant a SCS in your spine. it will only makes more pain, in areas where you never had pain. It is a SCAM. Say "No" to it. there are FB Groups for Failed Spinal Cord Stimulators, and you should check them out. Try making a solution of "Sea Salt and Water" and that will STOP your muscle spasms. within TWO minutes. Over the Counter Magnesium Tablets will also help you, but is slower to react. You may have to tale 2-3 tablets, at a time, to stop the cramps--400 mg. NO SCS.

I have a friend that it did not work on and I am on a facebook arachnoiditis page and from what I see, for those that it DOES work on it is only their leg pain. I read too much negative stuff so I am to scared to get one afraid it will be worse. I would take the pills if they offered them.
