Could Neck Pain Be Related To Meningioma Tumor?
My husband has been having neck pain for the last 3 weeks, We visited the ER last week and he was given muscle relaxers for pain and told to use aleve also. The pain wakes him up at night. Three years ago he was diagnosed with a Mengioma tumor of the frontal lobe but was told that it was benign and not very large. Can this neck pain be related to the tumor?

Hi yes this neck pain can be related to meningioma.
Meningiomas are benign tumors but can grow rapidly sometimes and can cause neck pain due to brain herniation.
Advised repeat MRI brain .Thanks
