Snow has scared away half my clinic so thought I would post
Had a CRPS consult for severe right foot pain after ankle sprain. Really didn't seem like CRPS to me so MRI L spine and found what looks like a lateral cyst. Radiologist calls it a facet cyst, I find this particular case interesting as I have not seen one this far lateral before and I can not see good communication with joint.
So, next move do I drain this sucker? What approach would you guys use? My first thought was to approach like a TFESI, however that nerve is just anterior.
Has anyone encountered a case like this?
