I have an 8 mm sacral cyst and trying to get scheduled for surgery now. Have been delaying surgery for several years. Can no longer stand the depression and the pain. Got worse when I lost my job. It is really important for you to have an outside interest otherwise it is really easy to focus to much on your health and become depressed. Good luck!
There is a surgeon in Philadelphia @ Penn Hospital. His name is William C. Welch. I personally know 2 patients who had the surgery with him. I met them on a facebook support group for tarlov. He prefers not to be listed on the tarlov foundation site due to having enough patients. I'm sure Dr. Oaklander will tell you about him. I had the afgi done April 25, 2013 and got great results. Good Luck on your journey.
