I have a sebaceous cyst on my back. i have had it for 20yrs+. never bothered me since it never really was in any pain. All it has done has been grown in size. it s like i have golf ball in back. Just recently though, I have a pain in my back near it which extends to my arm and neck. Could the cyst be pressing on my T nerve thereby causing this nerve pain? Pain meds like Aspirin & Tylenol don t help. A patch with Casein in it did help! Please help me doctor!
