I am new to this, but want to know if anyone knows of any place in Southern California who will treat pain caused by nerve clumping or I guess arachnoiditis? Every pain management I call want to reduce my meds without even asking what my chronic pain has been diagnosed as. I am reading that all these spinal nerve blocks have been linked to nerve clumping, which is what I have. I never got any relief from these injections but was told I would be denied pain medications if I didn't agree to these injections. Now I'm so screwed because even the same place who insisted on the injections will not even review my pain unless I agree to stop taking oxymorphone. I feel as if I'm being stigmatized for pain which injections, and or multiple spinal surgeries have caused me.
Thanks vwindsor62

Hello @vwindsor62, here are a few conversations you may find worth your time to read through and introduce yourself to the members specifically talking about arachnoiditis, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/arachnoiditis/ and https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/i-am-desperate-to-find-a-dr-who-treats-arachnoiditis-i-live/.
