Default Tarlov cyst?

Hi all, i have a question about tarlov cyst. I've been having back and hip pain for about 3 years now, to the point where im lying down 80% of my day. 2 years ago i was diagnosed with greater trochanter tendonitis of my hips from having one leg 1 1/2 inches longer than the other. In September 2018 i ended up in the er because of drop foot and numbness in my saddle area. It came back that i had 3 dics buldges in my lumbar spine with nerve impingement in l4 nerve root. I was sent home and told to go to my family doctor. He sent a referral to an orthopedic surgeon, but apparently the wait is up to a year. 4 weeks ago i woke up to find my other foot numb and the numbness in my saddle area got much worse along with the pain. They sent me for another MRI to rule out cauda equina. The mri came back same as before but it said i also have a dialated nerve root sleeve around s1. I googled it and all that comes up is tarlov cyst. My question is is this a tarlov cyst? My family doctor send another referral to a neurosurgeon but the wait there is 6 mths.
