4cm arachnoid cyst on spine, compressing cord. when i sit i get lots of facial pressure and sometimes headaches could this be why? dont feel it stand

Neurosurgeon: It's a stretch to think that a spinal cyst could cause those symptoms, but since they are so reproducible when sitting, I think a neurosurgeon is best qualified to answer your question. He/she would review your MRI as part of the assessment.
