A member asked:

Are there any new treatments for tarlov cysts in the sacral area? if so what are they? i have tarlov cyst that is 3 cm. very painful for 3 weeks.

A doctor has provided 1 answer

See below: Tarlov cysts are extremely common, and almost always are completely asymptomatic and painless. You need to rule out other causes of back pain before even blaming the cyst.
