Hi,
I found this forum while searching for information on tarlov cysts.
I was diagnosed with a tarlov cyst about 6 years ago after complaining about my left leg and foot feeling numb. First I had an exray and a large area was spotted which at first was thought might be a tumor. After I had a very exstensive MRI of my lower back it showed I had a tarlov cyst. I searched for information at the time and found a message board and took some advise from people there and worked at changing my diet and trying to keep my PH level. I followed a strick diet and after a few months my symtoms calmed down. I still had a little numbness in my toes and foot but I could mange with it.
This year I have had a hard time with stomach problems and took quite a lot of anitbiotics and now I'm suffering again with numbness and tingling in both my feet and legs. At first I wasn't sure what it was from, but after sitting in a wooden chair the other day my legs started tingling a lot more than usual and that's when it dawned on me it could be coming from my back and the cyst must be symtomatic.
I am back on my PH diet and will be seeing GP tomorrow.

Has anyone else on here had a symtomatic tarlov cyst and if so what have you done for treatment. I am trying to find out if there are any new treatments available.
Any suggestions will be welcomed.
Also I live in south west Florida, do you know of any good doctors here that treat tarlov cysts.
Thanks,
Katt

Nice to meet you!!
