Tarlov Cyst on the spine: Any advice?

I have been diagnosed with numerous Tarlov Cysts in my sacrum and I also have Adhesive Arachnoiditis. I believe both were caused by my dura being cut during surgery. I had a spinal fluid leak. There is surgery for Tarlov Cysts, but I am too old at seventy eight.

Thank you for responding. I will be 74 in a few months so I might be too old too!

i've just been DX with a Tarlov cyst down by the Sacrum or is that down by the tailbone? i was told by a couple surgeons that it would be better to leave it alone. not because of my age of 66. but, it'd be more trouble to fix it than to leave it alone for now. so i guess i will leave it alone temporarily until it causes trouble. 🤷‍♂️
