Hoping someone may have similiar symptoms and can HELP!

I'm really scared and just looking for some reassurane or information.  Since i had my daughter three years ago i've been having really strange symptoms and i'm afraid it's all pointing to brain tumour which both my mother and grandmother have both died from. Anyway here are the symptoms in a nut shell..after having the baby i had head aches daily and on and off numbness in my left arm and side of head.  Had a ct scan done and nothing showed up at the time.  Since then i've had daily dull headaches and burning what feels like inside my left side head and face.  Recently i've had a horrible clicking in my neck, worse when i wake up in the morning..it literally sounds like rice crispies in the base of my neck (where my head meets neck) Friday i've developed a numbness in two of my toes. Third and fourth two on the right foot. I'm getting really worried. Can anyone shed some light or maybe relate to any of these symptoms. I've had numerous blood tests and like i said two CT scans, one of the whole head and one of my sinuses.  This new numbness is really worrying me. All of the symptoms do seem to get worse when i'm stressing, not sure if that has anything to do with it or not.

Thanks for the reply..i really appreciate it and yes, due to the history in my family i'm always so scared of the worst, especially now that i have two children of my own.  If the numbness doesn't resolve soon i'll definately go back and request further testing.  I do hold alot of tension in my neck so that could have something to do with it. I just automatically assume the worst especially with symptoms i've been having. It's not even a headache really but a weird burning stinging feeling in the sides and top of my head. Anyway thank you again for your reply.

Hi,
I know it is scary to have symptoms as you are...especially when you have had close loved ones die from brain tumors.
I am not a doctor but I do have neck problems...the rice crispy sounds and frequent headaches. The numbness could be related to your neck also. have you asked for an MRI of your cervical spine? Request this and go from there. Try not to stress too much about a tumor...nothing has shown up on a CAT scan...thats a good thing. But your neck could be a culprit in much of what you are experiencing.
Keep us posted.  take care of you!
