Spinal arachnoid diverticulum
 
Anyone know if this could be connected to numbness, tingling, burning pain to body?

Nothing on the Internet.

My MRI shows Arachnoid diverticulum T8-L3.

Neurologist would not completely explain to me.

Have you had surgery or injections there in the past?

Often doctors will not tell you completely what is going on
if in the past you had work done there. They seal their lips if
there is doctor caused damage often.

No surgery but spinal block with c-section 1999.

I just want to know if this "cyst" could be causing some of my symptoms.

I just replied to a poster on another forum here who had arachnoid cyst in brain.
I know your diverticulum is in spine, but I would most definitely consider talking to your doctor more about these symptoms you are having and if they're caused by the arachnoid diverticulum.

I think your question is highly technical and not common.
These boards do not have resident neuros to answer these types of detailed questions.

There is a question website ... medhelp.org that has doctors
who come on occasionally. It is quite large to navigate there.
I'll send you a link in a PM.
