The happiness was short lived because the following day I felt my urine output slowed down completely. It is really low. And weight gain is considerable.

Not one health care provider seems to be in a hurry to do ANYTHING. Neurosurgeon is sending me for a urodynamics test and an electrical stimulating test on my legs... but these are weeks away. Meanwhile, I can barely function as a human being.

What am I meant to do in the meantime?

I really can't function at work. Worried I need to have time off / resign / might get given the sack.

Right now, there is no clear end in sight....

Neurosurgeon has not given a plan of action for once the next tests are done and he won't be operating because he is in his 70s.

I have sent off MRIs to Dr F. Does anyone know how long it takes for them to get back to you? It has been a couple of weeks now.

Hi - I know it's been a long time since your post, but did you ever hear back? Ever get satisfactory treatment?

I have only just had Tarlov Cysts idenified in my cervical spine (C7/T1 T1/T2 T2/T3 and T5/T6 - they were only looking at my cervical and thoracic area in MRI)

I also have some other things going on (reverse lowest cervical spine curve, osteophyte complex at C6/7 irritating C6 nerve, requiring an injection.

plus some other stuff....

That's how I found your post and got to hoping you were able to get some relief after a horrible year!
