I have a spinal dermoid cyst and I need help?

Question

I have had 5 opertations to drain the cyst in my spine over the last 18 years. The last operation was 3 years ago, however since that operation the cyst is refilling and after being admitted to hospital when the pain got so bad they did an aspiration to remove the blood in the cyst that must have been caused by a bleed. The specialist thought the bleeding would stop and the cyst would stop refilling. However, the problem is still going on and a radiologist is giving me aspirations ever 4 to 6 weeks. The pain is really getting to me and I can only take so many ibrobrufen! I need to decide on next steps and could do with some advice and particularly specialist that you would recommend.
