Hi and welcome to Healthcaremagic. I understand your concerns and I will try to help you as much as I can.

Arachnoiditis is caused by the inflammation of the arachnoid, one of the membranes that surrounds brain. This is unpleasant but not life threatening issue.
There are some infectious and noninfectious causes. Treatment depends on the cause. but generally there is no some specific treatment. It may include program of pain management, physiotherapy, exercise, and psychotherapy. Surgery for arachnoiditis is rarely required.
