About prognosis:

The 'prognosis' of Arachnoiditis usually refers to the likely outcome of Arachnoiditis. The prognosis of Arachnoiditis may include the duration of Arachnoiditis, chances of complications of Arachnoiditis, probable outcomes, prospects for recovery, recovery period for Arachnoiditis, survival rates, death rates, and other outcome possibilities in the overall prognosis of Arachnoiditis. Naturally, such forecast issues are by their nature unpredictable.
