@somelie Hello and welcome to Connect. I know it's difficult to try to seek care in the US when you don't live there. I tried a search for surgeons who treat Tarlov Cysts in Quebec, and I was able to find this link. Hopefully they can help.

For myofascial pain, a specialist trained in John F Barnes myofascial release (MFR) may be able to help. There is one listed in Montreal.

Hi Jennifer, thank you for all the info you have provided me with. I will definitely contact Jewish General hospital to find out if they do treatments for Tarlov cysts. As for myofacial therapy, I have done that in the past but unfortunately the pain comes back shortly after treatments.I have done many different treatments like facet blocks, Botox injections, dry needling acupuncture shock wave therapy even hormonal therapy to send me to menopause to relieve my pelvic pain. I need to find out the source of it. It is close to 15 years that I suffer from chronic pain but they had never reported these cysts on my MRI imagings until last year. I work in the field. I am aCT technologist and I am told that these cysts don’t cause any issues by our own radiologists and neurologists!
I have definitely nerve pain and it’s getting absolutely worse with time !!
