My husband was diagnosted with Arachnoiditis 5 yrs ago. He suffered a traumaticAmputation - traumatic Post-traumatic stress disorder back injury in college football and at the age of 35 had suffered through 3 back surgeries - the final being a fusion of the L4-L5.
Due to my career we have moved from Seattle to Northwest Arkansas and now are in Chicago. Each time he has had to go through a horrible process trying to find physicians who 1) understand the disease and 2) will prescribe the numerious pain meds he needs to function.
Can anyone advise a physician in the Chicagoland area (W. Suburbs if possible) who has experience working with Arachnoiditis and medicine pain management?
