nerve pain
If you don't mind me asking, what criteria was used to establish that you do not have adhesive arachnoiditis? Myelogram? MRI? Nerve Conduction? symptom evaluation?
Thanks,
Jeff

That's great, Dale!
That's awesome, Dale.
How is your nerve pain? Has it resolved much, or are you learning to live with it better? Mine continues to torture me.
God Bless,
