Arachnoiditis: Looking to talk with others

I had a horse riding accident and crushed L1. Since then I have had three back surgeries. During the last surgery my dura was cut and I had a spinal fluid leak. From this I developed Adhesive Arachnoiditis and Tarlov Cysts. I tried a Spinal Cord Stimulator, but unfortunately they were only able to insert one wire instead of two. For the first year my pain was less and I was able to walk a long way. Then suddenly, I lost the ability to walk and the pain returned. I tried different programs, but could not find one that worked well for me. The doctor refuses to remove the battery.

Wow... you have been through a lot.... much more than i have.
I really hope you find something that helps you get back to a comfortable "normal". Best of luck to you, and take care.
