Dear Kenny:
Sorry to hear about your tumor. I think I would revisit with your physician and let him/her see the lumbs. Likely, you will need some lab work. I would also see what your spine looked like on MRI after a good neurological exam. I would also make sure that your thyroid replacement is adequate and your cholesterol level is coming down.
Sincerely,
CCF Neuro MD
