Pain could be from the cyst. Most doctors think they are benign, however approximately 20% or more are not benign. Check into the "Tarlov Cyst Foundation" for information, they have a website. Also, most recognized surgeon on the subject is Frank Feigenbaum at Tarlov Cyst Institute who also has web page. Educate your yourself. I'm not necessarily recommending surgery. I've been living with the pain for four years. My cyst is 8 mm and is at the right of my S2. I guess most of these are in the sacral region but it is my understanding they also occur in the C and T areas. Sorry you have it, it is a thankfully small club but very painful.
