He was reffered by my back surgeon. I had no luck finding one on my own.
He was a great relief, He actually said that He thinks the symptoms I am having are caused by ARC (what a relief to have someone acknowledge it), he performed an EMG to discount the first one that I had(where the DOc. said I was poisoned) and the results were consistent with ARC.
Also did some blood work to discount any Neuropathys, the test... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (rubby860) http://arachnoiditissupport.yuku.com/topic/605 Fri, 14 May 2004 06:30:53 GMT http://arachnoiditissupport.yuku.com/topic/599/t/Myelogram-side-effects-.html feeds@yuku.com (msujmccormick) http://arachnoiditissupport.yuku.com/topic/599 Fri, 14 May 2004 03:54:12 GMT http://arachnoiditissupport.yuku.com/topic/608/t/Look-out-back-here-it-comes-.html Please remember me tomorow and wish me luck!

Hope as you read this, you're having a decent day, with less pain!! How do you know for sure that you're getting OLD???? You find yourself listening to talk radio anytime you're in the car!!! While out for my Dr. visit on Tuesday, I kept my radio on a local "AM" station, that's all talk radio.

I'm here to 'vent' and to also ask if anyone else can relate. While I've had some degree of leg pain for a decade, it's DRAMATICALLY increased in the last few months. It's impossible to even describe the type of pain in my legs. Up until recently, the pain was normally sciatica like - felt like a giant was pinching my butt cheek and pain ran down the back of my leg to either my knee or foot. The pain goes WAY, WAY, WAY, above and beyond that now!!!

Looks almost like a bruise but its not, some itching and soreness.
Anyone heard of this?

Arachnoiditis is a condition characterized by chronic inflammation of the arachnoid mater, the middle of the three membranes, which cover the spinal cord and the brain. The membranes covering the nerve roots become thickened and scarred, this forms fibrous bands, which cannot be eradicated. Fibrocytes form causing the pia and dura mater to adhere to one another; filling the arachnoid space. In some cases, globules of oil based are frequently entangled in... ]]> feeds@yuku.com (Unregistered(d)) http://arachnoiditissupport.yuku.com/topic/618 Fri, 09 Apr 2004 13:07:30 GMT http://arachnoiditissupport.yuku.com/topic/659/t/Type-of-Myelograms-Dye-used.html Is there someone out there that knows the type / name of dye that was used in your Myelogram?

Interesting comment, that the warmer weather helped some. I have been wondering about that.
It is truly amazing, how difficult it is to find a Dr. that knows or wants to admit to ARC.
As I said before, my Neurosurgeon's comment was it is normal and not a big deal?(afraid of admitting guilt to some degree?)

I watched "Bionic Backs" on Friday night; believe it was on the Discovery Health Channel....but could have been one of the other several Discovery channels on satellite. Anyway, the show followed two men with chronic back pain; told how pain began years ago, tests they ran and results of them, treatments they'd received. The highlight of the show was revealing some new options available for back surgeries that replace vertebral fusions, etc.
