Suggest Treatment For Cyst In Back?

I have a 8mm cyst in my back that causes pain in my legs. I have had two nerve blocks the first one worked better than the second. I also have a bone that is slightly off in my back. Should I cocentrate more on the decompression surgery or the decompresion with fusion surgery. Also can theraphy help this situation?

Thanks for your question on HCM.
I can understand your concern.
By your history and description, in my opinion you are mostly having neurogenic cyst.
Symptomatic neurogenic cyst should be operated.
So better to consult orthopedic doctor and get done
1. Clinical examination
2. MRI of spine.
In most of the cases only decompression is required. No need for fusion.
But MRI will be more beneficial to decide the plan of surgery.
So consult doctor and get done MRI spine.
Hope I have solved your query.
Wish you good health.
Thanks.
