Does A Pineal Gland Cyst Cause Superficial Numbness And Dizziness?

Hello. I am 43 years old and 130 lbs, 5'7". Two months ago I was diagnosed with 15.8 X 12 X 9.7 mm pineal gland cyst. I have constant low-grade headache, extreme eye sensitivity to light, constant dizziness, and mental fogginess. More irritating to me, however, is that I have superficial numbness in all four extremities, legs much worse than arms, a deep constant feeling that my legs are falling asleep, pain in legs, and a feeling of needing to move my legs constantly, resulting in twisting movements of ankles while awake. The numbness started in my left lower extremity and has progressively worsened and spread upward over the past two months. Additionally muscles feel sore and like they have been strained while at rest. Pain is unrelenting. Please help if you can. Thank-you.

Pineal gland cyst don't cause such symptoms. Probably you are having Restless leg syndrome. Try tab Pregabalin 75 mg at night and also do Serum ferritin and TIBC. Hope my answer will help you. Take care.dont forget to rate me.
