What is the prevalence of Arachnoiditis?
How many people does Arachnoiditis affect? Does it have the same prevalence in men and women? And in the different countries?
It is a huge epidemic that is very under diagnosis. People are being wrongly harmed by the medical profession.

Last I looked 2% of the nation. It’s so under diagnosed my guess iOS it’s a much higher number

As more and more epidural steroid injections are given and spinal surgeries performed, the rate of adhesive arachnoiditis will climb significantly. It is no longer a rare disease as it once was.

The prevalence is unknown. About 25,000 cases of arachnoiditis occur each year, mostly in North and South America, Asia and Europe, where spinal operations are more prevalent.

Whilst it’s still seen as a ‘rare’ condition by the medical profession the truth of the matter is there has never been Longitudinal studies on the major cause being chemically induced today is one of the most common causes of nerve damage of the lower lumber area of the subarachnoid space

That’s unknown because of doctors misdiagnosing this in almost all cases.

25000 people mainly in the us and Europe counted. But there are a lot of more people who don't know they have the disease.

I am not sure. the Facebook groups are full of young women injured during childbirth, possible lumbar epidural puncture. The following link should back this up.
