Tarlov Cyst on the spine: Any advice?

Hello , How are you? have you done an EMG? I had a neurologist order this back on July 21st and just now found out no one does this test. 3 facilities were checked. I am so disappointed. How can a Doctor not know this anyway? What if someone needs to have this done? Very upsetting news for me

I had the same issue. My doctor send me for a sacral EMG and they told me they don't do them. Lucky for you nobody does a sacral EMG. They stick needles into your nerves and that would probably cause your symptoms to get worse. The only thing I hadn't tried for my symptoms was acupuncture. They did needle therapy and the one they put in the right side down by the sacral area hurt sooooo bad! It made the cysts kick into high gear. That night I lost control of my bowels and a week later the bladder issues got worse. Then the symptoms I already had got a lot worse over the course of a couple months.

My neurologist did them in his office. Check with an orthopedic doctors office. A pain specialist/PhD in physical therapy often do them. I don’t understand there isn’t anyone in your area. There are orthopedic doctors who do surgery primarily on the foot. Good luck to you.
