RT S2 perineural cyst should not cause back pain. However for back pain u should consult a neurosurgeon.

Only a clinical examination will confirm if the cyst is causing the back pain. The doctor might give a nerve block to verify the origin of the pain. Then decompression is the only option.
Next Steps
Please visit an Orthopedic surgeon.
