A member asked:

How do you know when arachnoiditis progresses to adhesive arachnoiditis?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Just terminology: Adhesive just means that scarring sticks to structures and causes squeezing and compression. If symptoms include compression of nerves and other tissues, then the scarring effect can be considered adhesive. If scarring is without compression, it can be simple aracnoiditis.
