Hello,

As you had surgical excision of the tumor in the spinal cord, we need to know which location was the presence of the tumor.

Also, the pain in legs and arms is possible due to the inflammation occurring at the spinal cord level and doing icing will help reduce the pain.

This is a physiological reaction of the body and occurs post-surgery. Wait and see the symptoms for now. Only if the Symptoms are aggravating than the need to visit the surgeon who operated for clinical examination.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care
