Hello @deanflora61 and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I am really sorry to hear that you don't have help from anyone. I am glad you found this discussion so that others who understand what you are going through can help to support you now.
Can I start by asking for a little more history such as how long you have been living with arachnoiditis and what are you currently doing for your pain?

5/6 yrs. a workmen comp. problem, wait a month. sorry we can not help you, wait another month. sorry your in pain it can't be that bad, don't want to here about symptoms?
I'm sure it started at least 5/6 yrs, at the time my parents where ill. I could not do something for my self, i thought when everything would be alright. Go to a surgeon have a operation, 6 months be all better recovery. After covid was a yr. before, i got to a nero. surgeon to do the right mri. August 2020 i was informed i had arachnoiditis, no surgery no cure? Still trying to find someone to tell anything, about what i have face to face.

I do not know how long i have had it, pain started having increase 5 yrs. ago. my parents where sick for 4 yrs. both have passed. After that i started trying to get help, workmen comp, covid slowed things down. August 2020 i was diagnosed with arachnoiditis, from there workmen comp. has done everything they could do to do not to help. Trying to get rid of me, zero help with pain relief. Even reducing my medication. Now trying non-compliance.
