@donfeld I'm so sad & feel bad that this happened to you. It's sad & very dangerous thinking your putting your life in some Dr's hands & later down the line have to deal with even more dangerous & painful conditions. I'm so sorry for you.
I received at least 5-6 epidurals in my lower back, I have an additional 3 herniated disc's in my lumbar, I also received about 4 RFA's & as well in my thoracic 2nd time wouldn't take. & I also had bunch of epidural injections done in my Cervical 5 herniated disc's as well as 2 times of RFA injections that was done about a year & 1/2 apart. Now it has worn off & I was planning to ask my pain mgmt Dr. For another 1 in my cervical area. But since I read what you wrote about the after effects from unintentional injections that caused for your spinal fluid to leak, I'm really concerned & very afraid of doing it. But at the same time I'm in excruciating pain & it's very hard to deal with. I take medicinal cannabis capsules 3-4 @day. I'm also having total knee replacement surgery around December of this year.

I would be grateful if you could tell me what type of injections caused this condition to happen to you?

I read a part where you said they went too deep & nerves touching each other, what type or types of injections were they?

@donfeld I am so sorry to you. It sounds like you don't have very good doctors. I went to Mayo in Rochester MN and had a nine hour surgery for degeneration, which caused a scoliosis and had stenosis in my L4 & 5. The surgeon told my husband I must have been in a lot of pain. But Mayo is rated the #1 clinic. I can't remember where you live, but it would be worth going to Mayo, I had the best surgeon and your doctor can refer you their. People even fly there. I had the best surgeon that was a Professor in spinal surgeon and had 4 other qualifications. My surgery was 9 hours long surgery.
I can't believe they caused a sever spinal leak. Hang in there. I don't know what Arachnoititis is could you explain is that why you have Stage 4 cancer or is is caused my something else? I feel so sad for you. Take care and you will always in my thoughts and prayers.

Never heard of this condition before but something I have down to get ruled out one day. I have had Epidural steroid injections, facet blocks, radio frequency ablations on just about every levels of my spine. Multiple surgeries on my ulnar nerve in the right arm/hand and still not better. Numerous mri’s showed pinched nerves in shoulder and cervical,thoracic and lumbar levels. Two herniated disk in the cervical areas bounced back and forth between neuros and orthopedic and pain mgmt doctors over last 8 years. All I know is my back,neck etc pain is worse and I believe the procedures on my back is the cause. Numbness and tingling in right foot now. Praying for a miracle because I have lost trust in doctors and I would have to start all over with new doctors. Mental health is a mess as a result and cortisol,DHEA etc are out of whack. Adrenals crashed and lord knows what else. All doctors 🥼 was seeing are gone, moved, retired etc and just can’t find a doctor to address the root cause of so many things. Until I get ready to fight again for help, I turned it all over to God. No pain meds since the doctors abused prescribing them and from the people abusing them. It was the only thing that helped my back and neck pain and some what quality of life, and I took my responsible. So over the counter meds is all I can do besides my tens unit and heating pads, stretches etc.
Good luck to you all
