I take a lot of supplements. He suggests corticosteroids. I have not tried that yet. I just saw a pain management doctor last week. I am on opioids and gabapentin and a couple other prescriptions. He gave me. He says let’s get the pain under control and then will deal with the adhesive arachnoiditis. Please google Dr. Forest Tennant and you will find a lot of information. Even though he is retired, he will still communicate with you through emails. I can’t say enough good about him. He has been wonderful to me.
