I can't for the life of me imagine why 3 inch heels would change your pain on their own but if you can pardon the ignorance of a male who's never worn heels, do you hold your shoulders, neck and head differently with the heels on?

If so, you might find that you're decompressing it by your posture and could take that information back to your surgeon. Another thought is to borrow a laptop, bring your images in and rotate the cyst to get him/her to answer your concern. You could also try rotating and printing multiple images as the image is rotated but that would take a surgeon who's willing to take time to think and it's not sounding like you're blessed with that.
