Arachnoiditis-Its Causes, Symptoms, Types And Treatment

The Mechanism

The nerves in the spinal cord are layered in multiple thin tissues known as meninges, that help cushion and protect it. The arachnoid mater occurs in the middle tissue of the meninges. If there is any damage done to the arachnoid matter, it would lead to swelling and inflammation. This swelling results in the nerves present in the spine to stick together, altering nerve function and there is intense pain.
