Please do try to stop having any epidurals. This, as recommended by both Dr. Tennant and Dr. Aldrete, known authorities in this disorder. It can take a while to "show up" because it has to do with the formation of scar tissue wherever the needle went through. Read up all you can on Arachnoiditis. ANY needle into one´s spinal cord or spine is an "insult" that will result in scar formation and ARC. Dr. Aldrete called epidurals the TSUNAMI still to come in terms of this disease. I believe he was writing, or wrote, about it. Look up anything written by Dr. Aldrete and Dr. Tennant. Sorry am a bit abrupt....my dog is on my lap and did not like I was not paying enough attention to her.....Good luck, Fellow Arachniacs.....thinking of all the sufferers everywhere! Love you all....this is a terrible disease CAUSED by medical professionals who don´t always understand the delicate structures in our spines.....
