Hi
I'm new to this site so please bare with me.
I have recently been told I have a large talo cyst on the s2 joint in my back and also 3 smaller ones near the s1 nerve root. I would love to hear from any one who has or knows anything about them. I am in constant pain at the moment and am waiting to have a mylogram.
Sad
Any one out there who can enlighten me with advice or experiences I would appreciate any information.
Regards
Debster

Hi Debster

I've not experienced cysts on my spine, however, I have experienced the pain, I just wanted to give you some moral support, will they remove these cysts, or give you medication to reduce them.... I hope you don't suffer too long, and wish you a speedy recovery.
