Pain Management Of Rare Spinal Disease
Arachnoiditis Arachnoiditis is a rare,
progressive neuroinflammatory disease. This is
typically misunderstood and underreported
neuropathic discomfort that affects the arachnoid
layer of the meninges. Arachnoiditis leads to
pain due to the irritation of the arachnoid, one
of the membranes that encompass and safeguard the
nerves of the spinal line. Extreme stinging, a
"consuming" torment, and neurological issues
describe the condition. Swelling or inflammation
of the arachnoid can prompt the development of
scar tissue and can make the spinal nerves remain
together and break down.

  • What Is An Arachnoid?
  • The arachnoid is essential for a gathering of
    layers that pad the mind and spinal rope nerves.
    While this padding is harmed, nerves may not work
    accurately. The nerves in the spinal rope are
    encircled by a few slim tissues, called meninges,
    which give padding and assurance. The arachnoid
    mater is the center tissue of the meninges.
  • Swelling and inflammation result from damage to
    the arachnoid mater. This swelling can make
    nerves in the spine remain together, modifying
    nerve work and setting off extraordinary pain.
    Arachnoiditis is almost always caused by an
    injury. The pain for some people can be
    debilitating.
  • The damage to the arachnoid could be caused by
    various reasons such as
  • Direct injury to the spine accounts for 60 of
    the cases reported.
  • Chemicals Dye used in various diagnostic tests
    such as myelograms may lead to arachnoiditis.
  • Infection from bacteria or viruses Viral and
    fungal meningitis or tuberculosis can affect the
    spine causing arachnoiditis.
  • Chronic compression of spinal nerves Sometimes,
    it can be caused by compressions like chronic
    degenerative disc disease or advanced spinal
    stenosis, or narrowing of the spinal column.
  • Spinal surgery complications or invasive spinal
    procedures This may include multiple lumbar
    (lower back) punctures.

  • Symptoms Of Arachnoiditis
  • Some Common Symptoms Of Arachnoiditis Include
  • Changes in vision
  • Joint or muscle pain
  • Nerve pain
  • Unusual sensations like burning or tingling
  • Tinnitus or Ringing in the ears
  • Muscle weakness
  • Changes in hearing
  • Meningitis, or swelling of the meninges
  • Some symptoms can be less frequently, such as
  • Swelling of the brain (hydrocephalus)
  • Inability to sweat
  • Unusual or uncontrollable body movements
  • Urinary problems
  • Chronic fatigue
  • Migraines
