Looking for anyone with adhesive arachnoiditis and treatment options

Posted by bolake @bolake, Sep 11, 2024

MRI showed Adhesive Arachnoiditis at my L4L5 . Been having low back into thigh pain for some years after being diagnosed with Ankylosing Spondylitis many years back, so have had back injections thru the years. Seen Neurosurgeon who said I was in mild stages and recommended therapy and electric stimulator implant as treatment options. My question is this the only options or is there something more out there for treatment or I should be doing?

Best bet is to connect with Dr Forest Tennant in California...retired dr that has dedicated nearly all his time to researching solutions for treatment for this. https://arachnoiditishope.com
You can email him and he'll answer. I use many natural remedies to help with this condition. The top recommendations are steroids and strong NSAIDS of course, but I cannot use these and have found other things that can help. Dr. Tennant has suggestions also.
