Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 Hi Deb and Everyone I haven't written in for a while but have been reading the posts. Thank you Deb for suggesting Tarlov Cyst Disease. I'm following up on this. I was sent to a Musculoskeletal Pain Specialist. He actually agreed that the pain could be coming from my Tarlov Cysts - I hear that most doctors don't believe that Tarlov Cysts can cause pain, so I'm glad he said this. He wants to do another double Cortisone Injection (which I'm not happy about) as he seems to be concentrating on the disc extrusion. If it doesn't work, he'll send me back to the Neurosurgeon. I'm now taking Panadol, Neurontin and Nortriptyline(sp) for pain. It's doing very little to help. I hope everyone has a pain free Christmas. I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and All the Best for the New Year.

Guest guest Posted December 23, 2008 Report Share Posted December 23, 2008 After going through eveykind of treatment around, the docs finally let my Aunt get an MRI which showed a cyst that was causing the severe pain. She had it removed and is a new person. ________________________________ From: Helen <hbooth@...> spinal problems Sent: Tuesday, December 23, 2008 7:13:12 PM Subject: An update from NZ Hi Deb and Everyone I haven't written in for a while but have been reading the posts.
