Arachnoiditis

I have recently been told I have high probability of arachnoiditis. I
also have a deformed cauda equina. My pain in my legs just will not
seem to get better. A few years back I had an back surgery on my L4-5
L5 S1. Few months later I went back to work. I still had pain in my
back but I also still had a life. I worked 40 hours a week, had fun on
my days off. I also was still able to keep up with the daily house work
and cooking. I was taking some meds but I was okay. Then one day at
work I tripped over a dog. It was not a pet store.! I knew right then
and there I was hurt. I told my boss about what happened, his reply
was your not going to make a clam are you? Make a very long story
short, I've been hurt for sometime now. It started out with a burning
pain around my ankle I could not walk like I was use to. Which was
anywhere from 6 to 9 hour days. Then I was noticing I also could not
sit for any length of time. The burning pain went from my knee of my
left leg down to my toes. Then when to my right foot. Burning pain.
Then I also notice my leg will go cold and my foot very cold when I'm
laying in bed under blankets.
