I had surgery 12-5-2012 for Tarlov Cyst with Dr. Feigenbaum in Kansas City. I had 5 giant cyst in my sacral area. One was removed and 4 drained and wrapped with a bovine heart. If anyone has question email me.

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

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.

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

First, I want to put out prayers to all who are suffering from symptomatic tarlov cysts. I was recently diagnosed with large sacral tarlov cysts which the neurosurgeon told me were not the cause of my many symptoms. After many other tests to rule other things out, I felt I needed a second opinion on these cysts, as I had never heard of them before. I will be seeing a second neurosurgeon in May. My most difficult symptom is sacrum/rectal burning pain/pressure all the time. I cannot sit at all without major discomfort. I have various other symptoms too that many of you mention. I have recently started taking CBD soft gels to try to alleviate the pain, but so far I'm not getting relief. What are some you taking for pain management ? Thanks.
