Perhaps you should talk to a pain management doctor or an neurologist about trying SCS, spinal cord stimulator or a pain pump. sounds like you have tried everything else and you have not gotten any significant relief. I'm considering an SCS for my back and foot pain.

I'm not sure if an SCS is recommended for those with Tarlov cysts since it could make your pain worse. Any activity in and around the spinal cord and Tarlov cysts including the SCS, injections, etc. can trigger worse pain. This is especially true if you also have arachnoiditis. The benefits sound great but I can't imagine my pain being worse. It depends on how much pain you're in and what's causing it I suppose.
