@JustinMcClanahan...I was diagnosed with phase 3 Adhesive Arachnoiditis May 2009. This was due to Failed bloody Lumbar Puncture on December 10, 2008 resulting in Chemical Meningitis. I was hospitalized for 2 weeks in isolation ward. Balance, gait has progressively gotten worse. I cannot drive and use 4-wheel/rollator walker and occasionally a cane to get around. Falling is a normal occurrence (I joke about "falling over air"). Bladder and bowel issues. My life as I knew it, stopped when my spine was punctured during the failed bloody lumber puncture. SCS implanted August 2009 and helps with about 50% of pain. Didn't want intrathecal pain pump.

@top1sgt Did you do the trial of the pain pump? It is often done with an injection of hydromorphone or Morphine. I had a successful trial but the permanent implant has not helped.
