Hi Christine, and welcome to this group of brave and struggling souls. What you have sounds VERY painful. And frustratingly difficult to deal with, since the spine is basically inaccessible except through surgery. You say you know what caused you to have Tarlov's, what was it? If you do not mind my making a suggestion, you might also want to check out the Spine Health group here on Connect:
https://connect.mayoclinic.org/group/spine-health/
In fact, I notice there is at least one discussion in that group about Tarlov's (there might be others), here's a link: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/perineural-or-tarlov-cysts/

My wife suffers from neuropathy and I spend my early morning hours perusing this forum, trying to find things to help her, and I have found some interesting things since I joined early this year. I hope you find some things to help you as well. I read your little bio about having 5 kids and 8 grandkids. So at least you get a lot of distraction from your pain, no? 😉 Best, Hank

I actually meant to say my pain is from tarlov cysts pressing on nerves. Not everyone has knowledge of them, so I was passing on. Sorry for the confusion.
