I have seen several people say they have Tarlov cysts. I had not heard of them before so I of course looked them up. I am very frustrated and I must say angry at doctors who are brushing you off. Tarlov cysts can and will cause severe pain, headaches and difficulty with movement as some members have described. What do they mean when they say they don't know much about them. If they don't they need to get together and find out about them. As I can see there are many people suffering from and told their pain is not caused by them. I just finished reading that pain can be very severe and other problems can occur. I also read, to my disappointment that little research has been done. It was noted that there are several treatments that may help. Have any one had their doctor explain what treatment options are available. Too often doctors brush us off with it's part of getting old, do not know much about it or that is common. Sorry, if we have pain and difficulty waling, standing, being active, there is something wrong. It frustrates me. I was told that we were not meant to be in chronic pain without even a suggestion of what the problem is. Please, for all those suffering from Tarlov's cysts get with your health provider. It seems to me that further investigation needs to be done on this rather than saying they do not have much information about this.
