@grandmar Hello Ronnie:

I am sure you were glad to at least know about the cyst in the spinal column. Like @lioness said, I too am wondering what the doctor can do about the cyst in the spine. Do you have any treatment plans for that?

Hi!
Yes, I am very happy that the cyst was found.
The cyst can be surgically removed or nothing can be done and the doc can just watch it.
We haven't made a plan yet.
My guess is that the surgeon will make a decision when he actually sees the disc, which I have and will bring with me at my pre op appt.
Once he sees it, I am sure we will make some sort of plan.
He might decide to wait and see how big it is once he gets inside.
We discussed, before the MRI that if there was a cyst, it could be a big culprit in many of my symptoms.
To be continued.....
Here's to a pain free rest of the day!!
