A member asked:

Would a mobility scooter and/or a back brace help with arachnoiditis? i've had 2 dcs since 2000. i could live easier with a brace and scooter.

Go with brace: if U are able to walk safely, keep walking and moving to maintain conditioning.

Back pain continues after L4/L5 fusion last spring. Post-op I developed scarring & lumbosacral arachnoiditis. Does this fall under the definition of "failed back surgery"? I can't stand long & have sensory ataxia so I'm not in a good spot. Thank you?
