Health Organization for Pudendal Education

Hello members,I had a fall 7 weeks ago, a catscan suggested tarlov cysts.
Next i had an MRI, which confirmed tarlov cysts, as well as a hairline fracture of my sacrum.
I dont know if i had these tarlov cysts before my fall or has happened from the fall.
I am still in pain, but not as severe.
Can any one please help with any information rgarding these cysts.
Yours sincerely joylee.

HerMajesty is our resident expert on Tarlov cysts. You could PM her.

If the tarlov cysts are at S2, 3, or 4 they could be pressing on the nerve roots that lead to the pudendal nerve and therefore can cause some of the same symptoms as pudendal neuralgia. But if you experienced a sacral injury it's also possible your SI joint and ligaments were affected and that your pelvis is out of alignment causing pressure to be put on the peripheral pudendal nerve.
