Tarlov cysts* are found mainly in the lower part of the spine and rarely in the cervical region. Symptoms that cause discomfort are also rare. Chronic pain is joint with Tarlov cysts. Cyst pain can affect the lower back, significantly below the waist, and spread to the legs. Sitting or standing can increase pain in some people while lying down can relieve the pain.
