Hi,
My name is Karyn Benson and I live in lower Michigan. I have Adhesive Arachnoiditis and my back surgeon told me my disease has progressed rapidly in the past 3 years and now is really bad. He said there is nothing he can do for me. What does that mean? What is going to happen to me? I am scared.

Look, just because one doctor tells you that "there is nothing that can be done", that doesn't mean there isn't something that could be done. If I listened to the three orthopedic surgeons who told me the same thing, I would likely be an invalid or dead. You have to keep searching. Get several other opinions. Don't give up! Keep looking! You are stronger than you think.
