Arachnoiditis Hope recommends that low dose, intermittent methylprednisolone and ketorolac (LDMK) be the core medical treatment for any person with MRI-confirmed adhesive arachnoiditis (AA).  AA is a chronic inflammatory disease that has fused (glued) by adhesions some cauda equina nerve roots to the arachnoid membrane (inner lining of the spinal canal cover).  We have not found other anti-inflammatory or corticosteroid medicinals that consistently and effectively suppress AA inflammation and relieve pain and other symptoms as well as LDMK.
