:confused: I am in the process of trying to see if my insurance will cover a "Spinal Cord Stimulator". One of the things I had to do was have a current MRI. Well, my MRI showed bulging disk, possible annular tear and then a "incidental note"...that I had a Tarlov cyst at the S2 level.
I just need some information from people that may have this and if it caused symptoms of back pain. I have researched this condition and found only 4 to 9 per cent of the population ever get this cyst so there are hardly any neurosurgeons that want to do surgery on this because of possible failure (getting sued, reputation, etc.)
Can I get some feedback on this?
You'all were so helpful with the questions I had about the SCS.
Thank you
