Hi, I am new to the site.
I have been diagnoised with tarlov cysts on c7 and t1 thru t12. I had several occassions after coughing or sneezing in which I thought I had broken ribs with severe pain around the front ribs under the arm and breast. I also went cycling and later read that is one of the worst possible activities for my condition. My cysts were found on MRI during an episode of terrible, unrelenting pain. I have 2 that are very large and are actually buldging. I will be seeing a neurosurgeon in early June. I have not been able to find much info on tarlov cysts affecting the T part of the spine. Does anyone else have a similiar condition? Thanks, kiza |

Hi Kiza,
Did you recently have a fall or some type of trauma. I have read that it seems trauma can cause an asymptomatic tarlov cyst to have symptoms.I felt the same way with tenderness and pain on upper ribs, like i had broken a rib. I am a teacher and tripped over a backpack in the classroom and landed with both legs up in the air and landed on my head and neck and spine. I have terrible pain the drs cant seem to find out the underlying cause...also terrible headaches which now are controlled.Been off work since last Feb 2008! Anyway, Have you found any more info on the thoracic cysts especially. I am new as of today to the forum but need someone to chat with as I feel like people are beginning to think I just dont want to go back to work! I do and I really want to do my National Board Certification for teaching but that is on hold now and I want to see my little grand daughter ,who wiill soon be two and I have not been able to spend the time with her i would like. I am from Albuquerque, NM...thanks |
