Suggest Treatment For Aneurysmal Bone Cyst

I have an aneurysmal bone cyst at T3 (according to MRI and CT Scan). My back pain, however, seems to be closer to T6-T7, occurs when I lay down, frequently wakes me up at night, and wraps around from my back to my front. Can the cyst at T3 be causing this pain?

hi
The expansive nature of cyst may cause symtoms depending on compression produced.It can press on spinal cord or nerve roots and variable symptoms of pain and compression
Treatment options include simple curettage with bone grafting, complete excision, embolization, and radiation therapy. Reconstruction and stabilization of the spine may be needed if deformity and instability are present.

Complete excision of aneurysmal bone cysts offers the best chance of cure and spinal decompression if neurological deficits are present
You may consult a spine surgeon
Best wishes
