This has been the root cause of most all of my pain for over 2 years now and it’s very hard to detect these cysts cause it never showed up on any of my previous mri’s before until 8-16-24. Now to find a good neurosurgeon to remove it.

I had a cyst on my spine.and my oncologist recommended a neurosurgeon. He removed it in 2022. He told me at had nothing to do with either my Myeloma, or my Parkinson's
I don't know, I just know, that that was my 4th back surgery, and my last! I don't want anymore

Is it something radiation can take care of? My tumor was pretty large on my L3 that both surgery and radiation was needed.

Hi Cory! Were all the surgeries on your spine or back? Nothing to do with either Myeloma or Parkinsons - good! But what is the cause? How are you otherwise - I guess the back surgeries are enough 🤔❤️

Try to get approved for a PET SCAN.

I wish I had a better answer for you. 😇
