[QUOTE="buddy, post: 521791, member: 12886"] [COLOR=#333333] Intrathecal cyst My mom was diagnosed with this too last year. If it is the same thing, they said there is very little that can be done because every treatment makes it come back, sometimes bigger. Most people they said dont know they are there. Sounds like they are saying they dont know what causes it or if it is really anything to worry about (significance not known) which is exactly what she was told. (funny thing for her at first they said it was the size of a tennis ball, turned out to be a typo and it was a much smaller measurement, and much much tinier cyst., we were a little panicked at first). so, they say you have that curvature of the spine and sounds like some degenerative disc stuff going on, it will be interesting to hear what the neuro. says. So it is probably doing exactly what you are feeling, causing a lot of pain...duh, right? come on tony give her a break! Dont worry too much yet, wait till you see the neurosurgeon to see if this is a surgical issue or medical. I am glad there is not any serious disease process (like cancer or similar issues) going on but it is normal to hate to find out there are significant findings, how can you not wonder and worry a little? On the other hand, NOW you have the reality check you needed for Tony. (IF he will listen) HUGS, please take care of yourself. Hope you can get into the neuro. soon. [/COLOR] [/QUOTE]
