Default Tarlov cysts

My sitting pain started 2 years ago. It turned into burning in my rectum and perineum. I've never had a problem achieving an orgasm up until 1 year ago. Numbness set in and I have absolutely no feeling down there except the pain. I have done 2 years of pt and acupuncture with no improvements.
I had a couple MRIs and an MRN a year ago. Never did they mention tarlov cysts. I sent my imaging to Johns Hopkins for a second opinion and that's when the cysts were mentioned.
I have low back pain, unable to sit for long and standing is also painful. I can pain down the back ofboth legs, feet and upper outer thighs.
There's nothing in my imaging except those cysts and a small bulge at l5 and compression of traversing nerve at s1 which most people have according to my doctors.
I'm thinking of contacting dr. F in Dallas. Does he review imaging and then let you know if he feels the cysts could be causing your problems?
Do my symptoms fit this category?
Thank you all
