in reply to @bascogirl Hi, I had Tarlov Cysts removed in the past, and now have more that I will be seeing the same surgeon for next month. Rudolph Schrot in Sacramento CA is renowned for this kind of surgery. The pain can be extreme, especially for me because I have lost so much weight. However , following my surgery several years ago I felt great, as the surgery was a complete success. Because the surgery was such a success, if my doctor recommends another surgery I will have the same. The pain is impossible and not relieved by anything, really.
Best of luck
