Hi @francesmharris123 Do you have any updates for what is happening with your Tarlov cysts? My primary doctor consulted with the neurosurgeon in her medical group and denied my request for a new MRI and let me know that per the neurosurgeon Tarlov cysts are asymptomatic. I am researching another way to get a current MRI sent to Dr F in Texas to see if he thinks my cyst could be causing my sciatica and interstitial cystitis pain. They both started in October of 2014. I am so interested in others’ journeys with this condition. Thanks!

Please keep trying to get an MRI. Dr. F requested for me to have a pain dr numb the area close to my cyst which proved the pain was coming from my cysts. I am going to try a steroid injection to see if that helps before I do the surgery since I am older age 72
