Nationwide
When Tarlov cysts become symptomatic, they cause immense pain, inability to walk, stand or sit for long.They can grow,multiply and cause damage in the sacrum area. The surgeon has to aspirate them, plug the hole and wrap the spinal nerve walls in a membrane so they dont refill. The cost of the surgery is $50,000. flights/accomm etc $10,000.

Update for 16/01/2013 16 January 2013
By having this surgery, I will be able to regain my quality of life. The longer I leave the surgery, the more damage will be caused in my sacrum with the compression of the cysts on my spinal nerves and surrounding nerves that operate my legs, bladder and bowels. I am 44yrs old. I give a lot to people through my businesses and at this moment just dont have the money for myself.
