A member asked:
I'm so upset. i can't find a doctor to help me with my pain. i've had over 7 back surgeries. i'm now dealing with a rare case of a wide epidural space?

Advice: Am flabbergasted that you have had 7 back surgeries!!! You almost certainly have post-operative scarring and arachnoidits causing your pain. Would urge you to consider a spinal cord stimulator, as this does have potential to help your symptoms in future.
