Q: Does Anyone On This Board Suffer With a Tarlov Cyst?

I have had surgery to obliterate the tarlov cyst at s2. I was wondering if anyone else has been diagnosed with a tarlov cyst or has been treated for a tarlov cyst?

Tarlov Cyst
I have just been diagnosed with a Tarlov Cyst on the S2. My chiropracter and GP don't know much about them and referred me to a neurosurgeon. I can't get in until Dec. 3, but nothing is alleviating the pain. Pain meds upset my stomach and leave me useless. There doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to the pain. Therapy doesn't help, rest doesn't help. The only constant is the pain and the numbness in my foot. Is this normal? Question
