Perineural or Tarlov cysts

A small Tarlov cyst was recently identified on my S2 nerve root. Though small, many of my ongoing nerve pain symptoms correlate with their possible symptoms. My neurosurgeon acknowledged the possibility and is researching treatments. I possibly have other lumbosacral nerve involvement.

I found a number of past entries, most from 2018 and 2019, from members with Tarlov cysts and their treatment efforts. If you are still members, could you update us on treatments, successful and not successful, and where your journey to restore health has taken you. Thank you.
