What Causes Tingling Sensation In Back, Numbness In Face And Difficulty Walking?
I have a 1.2 cm schwannoma T11-12. 8ve been walking funny. Tingling in my back. My legs feel Weak. My face gets numb. I ve had it for three years now and my symptoms are getting worse. How long does it take to recover from getting something like that removed? It is in the dura. I m healthy active person. 143 lbs at 5 6 . Can they shrink it with radiation? How much time off work after surgery? Can a spine surgeon do these or a neurosurgeon? Thanks

HI
Well come to HCM
I really appreciate your concern, such lesion being taken care by neurosurgeon and spine surgeon and as a matter of fact both are the same, prognosis is depends upon the nature of disease and type and body response early diagnosis and right treatment could bring the good prognosis, hope this information helps, take care and have a nice day.
