Default thorachiic tarlov cysts

Hello, I'm new here. I have been diagnosed with Tarlov cysts 'of no clinical signifcance'. But there are several around the nerve roots in lower thoracic spine. That is all I know, I've got a herniated lumbar disk and that causes much pain but this thoracic pain has been with me for months and GP thought it could be kidney related, isn't . What are the symptoms of thoracic TCs and what can be done, assuming I can get a UK doctor to take me seriously?

If anyone can help I will be grateful.

Stargazey,
My thoracic cyst was at T5-6, and the symptoms were "stabbing pain" like an ice pick stabbing me in the back, along with spasms, which radiated around the front of my chest. Radiologists usually refer to Tarlov cysts as "incidental" or "insignificant". Of course, those who have symptomatic Tarlov cysts and are disabled do not consider them "incidental". I was prescribed a wide range of medications and therapies before meeting with Dr. Frank Feigenbaum. After five years of being disabled with this "condition", he performed the surgery which restored my life.
