I have arachnoiditis = try to live, control pain with limited pain meds, have lost being a wife/partner to my husband, am highly restricted, require high care. I recently suffered a failed thecal pain pump trial without anesthesia, halted due to extreme pain suffering from needle insert before test pain medicine was injected. Area after is now even far more painful/sore and has developed a lingering bruise/swelling, realize some improvement with ice/rest, diminishs, but resumes, never heals. Anyone else had this, recommend treatment?View Thread
