My wife has been dealing with headaches for the past 3 years, and over the last 45 months, they've gotten really severe. An MRI scan showed she has an arachnoid cyst. The pain is mostly at the back of her head, and sometimes when it's really bad, she feels like vomiting. Is there any treatment for this, or can it be cured without surgery?

I've been feeling unsteady while walking for the past 3 years, so I got a CT scan that showed dehiscence of the lateral semicircular canal. I had ear surgery, but the surgeon said there was no dehiscence only an infection, which they cleared during the procedure. My unsteadiness hasn't improved, and I'm really confused was the CT scan wrong or did the surgeon miss something? Who should I see next to figure this out? It's been so long without any answers, and I'm really worried this might be something serious with no solution
