Sandra,
If you are "considering surgery", perhaps you do not need it? I can speak only for myself, but once I made the connection with Dr. Feigenbaum, my primary concern was "when can we proceed with the procedure?". When it is determined that surgery is the most appropriate course of action, then it is your responsibility to prepare yourself for the procedure. By that I mean you must watch your diet, arrange for post-op assistance for your in-home care, and address a range of issues that your surgeon will discuss with you once you have been selected. This procedure is not comparable to going to the dentist.....it can literally restore your life, but you play a major role in the outcome.

Hi David.
Was wondering if I could reach out to you about your recovery now that some time has passed since your surgery with Dr. F. New to the site. Still learning it. I would appreciate any one else's input as well.

Thanks.
Lola

Sorry for the delay in responding to requests: Due to "technical issues", as in my computer crashing, I am somewhat behind.
Anybody wishing to contact me please send a "Private Message" through this forum. I can also be reached through the Tarlov Cyst Disease Foundation site. (I hope our moderator will allow this..?)

Trust me, there is hope, and for many a cure.
