@jelizabeth There are a lot of different reasons for not being able to get an appointment at Mayo or probably any other hospital. I wouldn't give up trying though. Arachnoiditis from what I've read is very difficult to diagnose and treat. Did Rochester Mayo give any reasons for denying an appointment? Mayo Clinic neurology& neurosurgery is rated in the top 10 for 2020 and Johns Hopkins is number 1 according to Top 20 hospitals for neurology & neurosurgery, by US News & World Report: https://www.beckersspine.com/spine/item/49651-top-20-hospitals-for-neurology-neurosurgery-by-us-news-world-report.html

Here's some information you may find helpful for learning more about the condition – Arachnoiditis Information Page: https://www.ninds.nih.gov/Disorders/All-Disorders/Arachnoiditis-Information-Page
