Hi Telvaker. Hope you are doing well. Three weeks ago I had a caudal epidural injection. It reduced the pain, but now I am dealing with some rectal pressure that only alleviates SOME when I lay down on my stomach. I have an appointment with dr. Feigenbaum September 24. Will be flying from Boston, just for the appointment. I have decided that If I am a candidate for the surgery, I will go ahead. I have received an incredible amount of support from Reta Honey-Hiers at the Tarlov Cyst Foundation. I will keep you posted. I would like to hear from you and other people as well. Be well!
