Hello! Wondering what are the criteria for being a candidate for this surgery? I'm pretty miserable and depressed with the parethesias, but don't have what I would call "pain". Thank you!

Hi, I am new too. I am miserable and depressed too. I was wondering if you would share your symptoms so we can compare? I don't really have pain either except in my groin. I just have weird neurological creepy stuff in my legs. I just had an MRI and a tarlov cyst was found at S1. I have had pelvic/groin pain for the last year. I had multiple studies...Abdominal CT, colonoscopy, sonograms, etc. .... Nothing showed up. The pain got so bad that I went to the ER in April and was told I had diverticulitis. That happened 3 times over last summer. They told me that I needed a colon resection. I had a colon resection in August and guess what...still had the groin/abdominal pain. I just had the MRI that showed the cyst. I think I had my sigmoid colon removed unnecessarily... Then I started having the parenthesis in my legs. That is why I had the MRI. Have you had groin/abdominal pain?

Do you know the location and the size of the symptomatic ones? So good you don't have the pain any more . Did you have other symptoms besides the groin and abdominal pain? My cyst is on S2 and is 1.3 cm. thanks

From my first MRI, on S3, about 11mm, this was 2011. I had surgery on 5 cysts, S3 L+R, S4 L+R, and S2 R. I was treated for bulging disk for all that time before . I had pain in my lower back, that was reason to see Dr. When they said is disk causing the pain, I got all these treatments they could give me.no help. I had surgery for TC pretty quick after I found out it got bigger.

I'm sorry for anyone has left me message.
I have had 2 surgeries with Dr. Feigenbaum for my Tarlov Cysts. I'm not on computer a lot because of my condition. If will help with information that I can. I can sit longer and my sacral pain is less. I have sharp shooting leg pains that I didn't have before. My over all my pain level from last year is down. |
