Lightbulb welcome here...

I did not go to WebMd...but I did find this link for you to look at.
http://www.arachnoiditis.com/disease.asp

Notice that this disorder is basically the result of previous medical interventions (these are called iatrogenic). The organic diseases that may cause it are pretty serious.

If you have not had injections, or drugs that cause bleeding, or any of the serious illnesses, your chances for this are small.

Many people have things that don't show up on tests.
One is that if one leg is shorter than the other, it throws off your whole gait, and leads to strains.

I'd get a referral to a good chiropractor and see if anything can be done. Also Physical therapy is good. I had PT for a serious tendon injury which took care of most of the pain...I still have some and stiffness, but it is not like it was.
