[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 521869, member: 1233"] The arachnoid is a membrane around the nerves including the spinal column. Arachnoiditis is an inflammationa nd irritation of this membrane, and one common cause is thought to be steroid shots into the back. There isn't a lot known about it. I know one doctor tried to get me to let them go in an burn out some nerves instead of having the disc fusion I had done. I didn't because I could find NO studies that showed long term help from the procedure, and the spinal fusion did have long term outcomes that were positive. I don't know that the spinal steroid shots (into the epidural space) are the cause, and I don't think much is known of the cause and or treatment of this problem, but it isn't a fun one. just don't go into surgery until you have spoken to at least 2 docs. even if you go with the first one, it is still important to get the 2nd opinion.
