T11 Schwannoma tumor

by wensoc, Jan 28, 2008 01:44PM
Has anyone been diagnosed with this and then been proscribed Gabapentin up to 6 tablets of 300mg?  So far it has taken care of the pain but how long does this prescription go on?  Has anyone had the tumor removed and what was the outcome?

Yes, I was dx with a T11 schwannoma tumor about 6 years ago. I  had surgery, and double thoracic lameninectomy.  My sx were pain in a small area in my right hip about the size of a quarter. It felt like electricity was being sent thru my body to that area. I felt okay after I had been up for several hours but the pain would wake me at night after i had been sleeping for a few hours. Apparently my body was causing compression on the tumor when I was lying in the recumbent postion.
I am doing great now.
