I own and operate a large hay and grain farm, in addition to my construction business. I have spent several weeks this year rafting rivers here in the northwest, in addition to travelling throughout the northeast of the US. While I never again will be able to construct cable suspension bridges and timber framed bridges throughout the northwest, I have a good life, considering what I had been diagnosed with. The surgery performed by Dr. Feigenbaum and his assistant Debbie West restored my life. The only obstacle I encountered on this journey was erected by the Sate of Oregon workers compensation system, aka: SAIF. They did everything they could to prevent me from obtaining the necessary medical care.
Please know that there is hope for those diagnosed with symptomatic Tarlov cysts. PM me if you need more information.

David, how are you doing now? I'm 62 with an 8 mm cyst to right of s2. I was injured falling from a cutting horse in 2009. I've heard so many horror stories about people being in worse pain and reoccurring cysts following surgery, I've been afraid to go through with the surgery. However the cyst is getting worse now and I'm starting to have numbness in legs and feet. Any feedback would be much appreciated.
