Hello, I have not considered neurosurgeon in lieu of my original orthopedic surgeon. I am scheduled a week from tomorrow and I'm quite nervous due to the length of time the calcified seroma has been there. When it was drained I had intense nerve pain throughout my body. I did have some pain relief days after drainage two months ago. One of my concerns with the arachnoiditis dx is that if I have surgery to remove the seroma and since a CSF leak is considered due to rapid refill, I will be getting patch that the arachnoiditis progression will escalate. I am a healthy, in shape, 61 yr old and am already seeing the affects of the surgery and complications. I will do everything available or suggested to keep progressive symptoms from developing. When I saw the question I was hoping for direction or voices of experience. Thanks I have an additional complication in the spine as I broke my neck as a kid and now have an area with cervical myelopathy. I am blessed so far that I do not have neck pain though and the neurologist said I do not need to rush any cervical fix.
