Tarlov Cyst on the spine: Any advice?

Hi there! My pain started this July, 3 months after giving birth to my second.
My tarlov cyst is 4.4cm now and the pain is at the left side of my tail bone and the left side of my female parts.

For me it gets worse when I heat the area, or have a bath/sauna.

I’m curious to know if this happens to others too?

Still new to this and trying to find ways to deal with it…

I do want another baby but I’m not sure if I could now that it’s symptomatic…
If anyone has given birth after the cyst has become painful do share your experiences.

Thank you!

Hi, Yes, heat is very difficult for me too. It seems to aggravate the nerves in my glutes/hip & leg that are affected by Tarlov Cyst. Frustrating not to be able to take warm bath! It has also made water therapy impossible because the therapy pools are so warm. I often rely on ice to settle things.
