Stanley,
Now, I have very similar numbness and weakness down my left side, spreading over the years to the right. I have memory problems, no tinnitus and have other injuries which mix up more symptoms.
The pins and needles in the left side of your head may be caused by the cyst, but sounds exactly like mine - which is caused by my Trigeminal Nerve. I have a knot of arteries tied round it, causing the permanent pins and needles and flare-ups of TN pain. Perhaps, like me, you have something else going on as well.
Try making a list of all your symptoms and their severity to give to your GP and Neuro. That way - for people like us with memory issues - we can get everything covered.
There are a lot of us here who understand pain and frustration, and have family who don't want to listen to our problems. That is what makes it such a special Community.
Are you receiving any treatment for your symptoms? Are you taking care and steps not to slip into Depression?
Dave.
