Hi
Thanks for posting your query.
I don't feel that your cysts are causing your back pain . You might be having some disc problem which is causing your back pain .
For diagnosis it better you get MRI lumbar spine and kindly let me know the report.
I don't think your high cholesterol or BP is related but it's better you do aerobic exercise as much as you can do .
Any clarification feel free to answer.
