Hello, My daughter has suffered for 2 years of severe pain in the thoracic area of the back. She has seen many different specialists looking for a cause of the pain. Recently she went back to her rheumatologist, who looked at a MRI that was given 14 months ago by a spine specialist, the rheumatologist noticed the mention of a perineural cyst located in the T11-T12 region of the spine. This is the exact spot of her pain. I have read that most of these cysts are located lower on the spine. I was wonder if anyone else experienced a Tarlov cyst in a similar location on the spine? If so, what treatments helped you? Does anyone know of any doctors in Massachusetts with experience/knowledge treating Tarlov cysts? Thank you.
