My husband was diagnosed with lumbar adhesive arachnoiditis a few weeks ago. He had lumbar fusion 4 years ago, then started developing pain a few months ago and has since had several epidural steroid injections, and his pain had gotten much worse. So we got an MRI a few weeks ago and it definitely showed adhesive arachnoiditis which has such a poor prognosis. So of course we are looking for some kind of treatments and are also having trouble finding an authority on Arachnoiditis. We are considering a spinal nerve stimulator, but I'm worried about any type of procedure on his back - could it make the scarring and arachnoiditis even worse? Anyone have experience with the neurostimulators? Many thanks...
