Hi Justin,
What you are going through will no doubt make you a better, more compassionate person and doctor. Most doctors just don't get it but you will and it will make a huge difference for your patients. I understand the hesitancy to try and look to the next 10, 20, or 30 years with spine problems. Just know that better things are ahead and that is what we need to focus on not where we are right now. You are young and will be able to take advantage of all of the new technology just around the corner. Hold on to your faith. It will carry you far. Bless you, Linda

arachnoiditis?
Has anyone developed arachnoiditis after a myelogram? i read about it here --Arachnoiditis -- but wanted to see if anyone on here had experienced it; i hope not. Temporary spinal headaches are one thing, but permanent arachnoiditis is what concerns me.
I've read about a few people that have developed arachnoiditis after ADR and fusions, but i don't recall anyone linking it to a myelogram. thanks, Liz ps... justin, what does your myelogram show? i hope you're feeling better. Last edited by Liz; 02-15-2009 at 02:54 AM.

Justin,
I was reading this thread again. I can relate about what you said about slowly deteriorating and what you went through before ADR. I am looking at 2-3 more epidurals in the coming weeks and just cannot get over the pain. When I started this with the facet block and then the epidural, I could not help thinking that everything was so similar. It is truly disheartening. I hate being a patient. Would rather be on the other side. I am sure you feel the same way. I feel for you. runner (K)

K,
I couldn't have said it better. I feel for you as well. I know you can relate when I say that I am sick of all of these spine issues. It overshadows everything you have going on in life, and you essentially become a prisoner to your own pain. Oh well, I do make a conscious effort to take a mental inventory of what I am blessed with in life despite this temporary pain. This too shall pass. PS... Liz, I started another thread about my myelogram findings...thanks for caring. Quote:
