Hi All , V here from Ontario, Age 31, Male. Just got diagnosed yesterday with the arachnoid cyst. I am a healthcare professional and believe in medical science. I also belive that if something is not broken then don't try to fix it. The report of CT says "an incidental small left middle cranial fossa arachnoid cyst
Measuring approximately 3.5 x 1.5 x 1.8 cm. There is mild remodeling/thinning of the anterior wall the left middle cranial fossa. The ventricles and cisternal spaces otherwise appear normal. No intracranial hemorrhage."

Seen 2 GPS they said its nothing to worry about. Remodeling suggests that its been there from long time and pressing against the bone wall. From last few years been experiencing tiredness and sleepy feeling whole day. Severe back pain ( had L5-S1 back surgery), thoracic pain on the left side at T5 level. Feeling general back weakness. I episode of pulsating feeling in the head when I was extremely angry. Did some research, most people report a headache. I started experiencing it after diagnosis. Could be psychological. Dr. is referring me to the neurologist.
The whole thing is stressing me and my family out. I am postponing my business decisions. I don’t have kids yet but that as well we have to figure it out soon. In the middle of moving to Edmonton. But now I am asking myself what is the meaning of life and taking this much stress. Should I adopt laid-back lifestyle instead of worrying about life?
I just want to know from all the cyst patient that how they are doing now. They say if it is asymptomatic you don’t need to do anything. Anyone here 50+ who had cyst from a long time and doing fine? Anyone who had it from long time and it became symptomatic?
