Default help

I too, have just been diagnosed with 5 cysts. I am in the process of hearing that there's basically nothing that I can do except to learn psychological coping methods. I'm currently on celebrex, requip and tramadol. I took Lysine today as well. My husband, bless is heart, has been a crusader in this in the last 72 hours and came across your surgeon. What advice can you give me? I have 3 little ones and i'm only 37. I'm frustrated, mad, feel defeated, while at the same time ...I feel elated that I"M NOT CRAZY!!! These took 5 years to finally diagnose. It's been decided that I've had these for around 20 years. I would love to hear about your surgery and any advice you can give me! thanks so much! Shelly

Question Tarlov cyst

I have been diagnosed with a large Tarlov cyst in my sacral area which is causing severe pain and discomfort in my lower legs - particularly bad in my right leg, with numbness from the knee to the toes. I would like to have surgery. Amy, was this surgery expensive? I live in UK.

I am in NC too - do you know Docs in our state; I am at beginning of Tarlov journey, so not even thinking surgery, just want someone knowledgable to manage pain while I pursue alternative therapies.

Default Cysts, different kinds?

I also have Tarlov cysts, but others named and not named inside my spinial cord. Two days agao they found cycts in my kidneys also, not named just kidney cycts. Any idea why people get these or have multiples of different cycts and in different places? After reading they can come back and cause more to develope I decided not to do surgery, plus I have alot of other issues - tumors - any advise

Hi Amy,

My sister has been diagnosed with a tarlov cyst, which is causing her debilitating pain and I'm wondering how your surgery went and if all is well with you post operation. I had read that draining/aspirating these cysts is often ineffective in that they fill up again shortly thereafter, so I'm wondering if yours have stayed drained.

Thanks for posting and inviting others to reach out to you.

Regards,
Lisa

I have 2 Tarlov cysts, and waiting to be scheduled for surgery with Dr. Feigenbaum in Dallas. Long wait, about one month and did not get scheduled yet. Did surgery helped you? and how long was recovery time.
