Tarlov Cyst on the spine: Any advice?

I have Tarlov Cysts at all levels of the spine. I have chronic pain in the upper right stomach and had my gallbladder removed with the pain still there. I have pain also in the thoracic area of the spine. Left foot numbness, burning mouth and my body aches all over. Can someone point me in the right direction. This all started after a reclast infusion for osteoporosis that landed me in the ER with severe pain in the thoracic area and upper right abdomen pain. Then got worse after Covid vaccine and 3 days later needed up in ER with Chicken Pox.

in reply to @kgrainger I had a Tarlov Cyst removed from my sacral spine many years ago by Dr. Rudolph Schrot who is associated with Sutter Medical Foundation in Sacramento, CA. In fact, he recently did a study on the removal of these cysts. I had a very good outcome as a result of the removal, and the recovery time was actually quite short.
Best of luck.
