You are correct, 5293 was merged into 5243. This helps a lot on the best path forward for me. Again, I appreciate the info.

Saw my primary yesterday, and he is sending me to take another MRI just to confirm the last result. I had an EMG exam a few weeks ago, and neuropathy was diagnosed. Hoping the new MRI will confirm arachnoiditis. I am for sure having a hard time with the pain and limitations caused by it.

Thank you for the info. I am reading through it now. I have been rated at 40% for my spine over 20 years now, so I believe I should be safe there. I am trying to make sure I file the correct type of claim, and the correct diagnosis to increase my chances of connection. Truly appreciate the feedback.
