Guest guest Posted December 21, 2011 Report Share Posted December 21, 2011 Friends, I've told you about this cyst on my spine, T3-T5. I won't go into why I won't allow bloodtests unless someone asks me personally, but right now I am looking for what can be done without having that done. I read on NINDS that there are some new minimally invasive procedures to excise spinal cysts. Does anyone here have any information on this that I can take to my neurosurgeon when I get to see him again? I am in a LOT of pain every time the weather acts up, which is constant lately. I'm hoping some of my friends here can help me out. Lillian SantanaSan , Texas Life is not about waiting for the storms to pass...it's about learning how to Dance in the Rain.

Guest guest Posted December 22, 2011 Report Share Posted December 22, 2011 Dear Lillian, Chiari & Syringomyelia patients are always recommended to be seen by a neurosurgeon with significant experience diagnosing & treating patients. I personally have not heard of a minimally invasive surgeons that have significant experience working up CM & SM patients.
