I am 33. I have two little toddler girls and a loving husband. I have had back problems since I was a teen with scoliosis. I had 6 surgeries for this and I can stand up almost straight.  The PM doc said that is where my arachnoiditis came from all the surgeries.  The pain is not every second cause I have pain meds but it is every day and it stops me from doing even the smallest tasks. The pain is in both legs (burning, aching, throbbing, shooting, stabbing....) I have weakness in both legs and some internal nerve damage to my lower organs. :0( I am looking into a SCS but my insurance is denying everything. I cannot find a psychologist to do the mental health tests required for the SCS trial.
