Can Arachnoiditis Cause Headache?

I am 69yrs., old,have had arachnoiditis for about 40 yrs. I had 2 laminectomies in 1973 many mylograms (pre 1980) and since the late 1980's I have had severe headaches (like Migraine) constantly. I also have cervical &spinal spondylosis and arthritis .My question is could the arachnoiditis have caused my headaches? Thank you ED GARLAND , F

Hi I did review your condition.
Arachnoiditis can cause headache.
I would advice you to get a CT scan done and if needed a MRI to rule out other causes of headache.

I hope this helps
wish you all the best
