@ghostwriter Not to worry. Often doctors write things they may think about as possibilities in medical notes. That doesn't mean it is something conclusive, it's just their thoughts and description at the time. They don't have a reason to make things up in surgical notes. I don't know if that would show up on an MRI or not as medicine often isn't an exact science. It's an art of looking at various clues and drawing a conclusion. Some times it's a suggestion of a direction for further advice. One thing that is certain is that surgery creates scar tissue. If you are really concerned, you might want to ask your provider. It sounds like you are doing well which is the important piece.

Re AA— don’t Look for trouble when there isn’t any. The human body is often generally the same and specifically different. I did an autopsy on a 56 year old man whose insides were reversed— heart on the right, liver on the left, etc. He died from heart disease as I recall, but the reversal was noted in the report.
In your case, do you have symptoms that would lead a diagnostician to conclude Adhesive Arachnoiditis? For a clue to answering this, please read through the posts that refer to symptoms…. Good luck. Archie
