If you have been in a serious car accident, you may have injured your back. Many people injure their backs in a car crash as a matter of course. There are jerking physical forces that will affect your back exclusively in a car accident. You may be thrown around in the vehicle. You could twist your back trying to stay static during the crash. You also could have been thrown or ejected from the vehicle from the force of the impact at the moment of crashing the car. Either way, it is typically common for people to have hurt their lower backs after a car accident.
If your back has remained in excruciating pain even a few weeks after the loss, you might have injured your arachnoids. The injury of arachnoiditis is defined as an inflammation of the membrane around the spinal cord. If this area of your back is injured, you have inflamed the arachnoid membrane and it can compress the spinal nerves in the process. If there are adhesions in this area of the body, the nerves of the spine adhere or stick together in a painful mass of your lower back.

This injury is a particularly painful injury to the lower back. The symptoms can mimic other injuries, but include:

- Tingling
- Stinging
- Burning
- Pain radiating down the legs

- Leg or back twitches
- Back spasms

What If Your Prognosis Is Poor After the Diagnosis of Arachnoiditis?
The reason that many people have problems with arachnoiditis is that this injury is hard to categorize. It is generally thought in the medical community as a result of pain that will diffuse across the sufferer’s entire back.

Or it can create a feeling that there are psychological reasons for your pain, as well as the physical hurt that you are experiencing.
In the medical community, doctors are often at a loss to help people with the injury of arachnoiditis.

What Do I Do About the Pain of Arachnoiditis?
The difficulty of treating the pain of arachnoiditis, is that there is more than one pain point, and it is difficult to isolate the areas of pain for treatment. Often, the medical doctors will rely on endoscopic interventions to look at nerve endings and inflammation, to get the best diagnosis. But diagnosing arachnoiditis may not be the most exact science. This is because a surgeon will look at the person’s spine, and not be able to isolate the reasons for the damaged tissues. In this type of relief surgery, the spinal area needs to be reviewed, and the nerve roots exposed to find the main points of the irritation and inflammation.
But with fusions in the area that are not supposed to be stuck together, it may be just too difficult to get a successful surgical result. That is harsh to know, but it is the case in many instances.
