Tarlov Cyst on the spine: Any advice?

Did you try Dr. Frank Feigenbaum in Dallas, TX? I'm going to see him on August 4th, and then hopefully have surgery to get rid of all my Cysts on my Sacral Joint!!! I have Medicare and a Medicare part C insurance, and it seems like that worked out okay!! Dr. Feigenbaum is a Neurosurgeon who specializes in Tarlov Cysts! I haven't found any other doctor in the United States who does just that!! Good luck to you, I know how painful these Tarlov Cysts can be!!

There are a couple other doctors who specialize in TC surgical procedures. One is Dr. Rudolph Schrot in Sacramento, CA and another is Dr. William Welch in Philadelphia, PA. I had consults with Dr. Feigenbaum and Welch. Both said the same thing, which was that my cysts were the source of my pain. I appreciated having two opinions.

I just went to Dr Feigenbaum and he told me I had to have a nerve root block near the Tarlov Cysts to see if the pain decrease to make sure the cysts are causing the pain. I only have pain in my female parts. Many of Dr F’s clients also have pain in there legs and buttocks I think. I am in the process of scheduling a nerve root block. I have had this pain for 4 years and have had many Gynecological treatments which have not worked. I am older 72 in good health and in good condition so but Dr F said my recovery recovery will take longer. It appears Dr F has great results.
