trigmental neurolgia

by Judi186, Jun 04, 2009 05:11PM
I had FSR for benign brain tumor in 2001, Gamma Knife in 2004, a shunt for hydrochephalus in 2006, then I was getting terriffic face pain off and on for about the last 2 years, finally went to a neurologist because the doc that did the gamma knife and shunt only checks them not the new problem.  I chose not to have surgery when I was diagnosed with the tumor and I am wondering if that is why I'm having so many problems?  They all seem to be related.

Surgery is imminent sometimes and do not regret. Any problem in the brain is difficult as there is no space and space occupying lesions should be cured so that you remain unaffected. You have been strong till now and you go ahead consulting your neurologist/neurosurgeon for future course of action. As time is advancing and the surgeries are also advancing, do not worry about what you have done, that was the dicision of your consulting physicians too. Take care!
