Adhesive Arachnoiditis & the Effects on Walking
Chronic Pain | Last Active: 1 hour ago | Replies (39)Comment receiving replies
Have severe adhesive arachnoiditis & fused from C3 thru my sacrum. it can affect walking in most severe cases. My legs are fairly numb, although i have severe leg pain ( and pain down my arms etc) I use a walker & it's getting harder to walk every day & i'm getting more unstable daily & i know i am a fall risk. I cannot move one step without my walker. It is progressive & some people end up in a wheelchair. I hoping i won't be one of them. I was in a wheelchair for 6 years & don't want to go back in one

I also have been in a wheelchair after t1-T12 naturally fusing after a tumor and radiation treatments at age 16 now I'm 56 and I'm using a walker I understand these symptoms bc I've lived with them so long I've grown used to the pain even though on days it's unbearable. I'm sure you have went to hospital ER and they just give you a shot send you home only to have it come back and then your left to cry in bed. Or in living room depending on where you are. I have bladder issues. Often lately bowel problems but I'm still fighting. Finding someday I get decorated of this. I'm so tired of aching and hurting I'm hopeful for a pain pump and maybe get some relief but I have been knocked down to where this is depressing and causes mental anguish on me.
