Tarlov cyst: What is better to relieve pain ice or heat?

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 !!

@somelie Thanks for your reply. With myofascial work, it takes time and patience to work through layers of tight fascia. Once you do that, you need to maintain the functioning with home stretches. There is a lot you can do for MFR work at home. It makes a big difference, and when everything moves better, you also have better circulation of body fluids.
I'm sorry you have nerve pain. That's no fun at all. A lot of times, patients know better what is causing pain. We're also all different and our experience and pain sensation tolerance can be different.

Somelie,
Have you ever or are you currently on gabapentin? I asked because your story is the same as mine. I just recently well about three weeks ago started taking gabapentin.
