I've also heard that people who have the herpes virus in there body from shingles, chicken pox or other sources are more likely to have reoccurring cysts. Has anyone read research on this?
I am also asking about previous post op surgery from 2011 or later. I have 5 tarlov cysts from s1, Bilateral s2 and s3. Dr. Feigenbaum recommended surgery due to compression of sacral nerve roots. Before I have surgery I would like information how successful or not successful in the long term. If you find out any information, please let me know. Thank you.
