Tarlov cyst's. I was first diagnosed in 2001. Tarlov cysts are similar to fibromyalgia in that doctors are told in medical school they don't cause problems and it's slow and coming that they recognize them. There is a great site. Tarlov cyst foundation that has a lot of great information. Including I think it's four doctors across the country that can actually treat them. Yes they cause problems. Yes they cause pain

@becky55f sorry my point about them being like fibromyalgia is it took several years for doctors to recognize fibro. Now they're pretty well diagnosed and treated and fibromyalgia will be at some point too. It's just that only 1% get it. Get the cyst so there's no money in treating them as far as medication etc
