Hi. I was having neuro stuff (lower back spasms, feet and leg spasms) and I thought it was my Lyme.
An MRI of lumbar spine found 2 perineural cysts in spine. Anyone else with this problem??

Hi Lymetoo. The "doctors" if that is what they call themselves are telling me they are nothing, even though one is 2cm and the other is 1cm on S2.

They suggest pain management.
I am miserable and lost. Is it Lyme or the cysts? My symptoms are very bad before my period.

I dunno, but I have these cysts on my spine, and in every joint - especially hands and feet. i have had three surgeries on my feet to have them removed - they grow back. Mine were negative on an Igenex lab but they also sat all weekend in the sun so i suspect the sample was spoiled, hence a neg result.
