Hello drwk
Hi! I have had Spinal cord was compressed in the T-1 to T-4 by 90% by what turned out to be a beguine mengeoma tumor. My Neuro Surgeon dr said this was the cause of my neuropathy symptoms all over my body. He also removed the tumor 1 and 1/2 year ago. I still have the neuropathy in both legs and feet and in my right arm. After my surgery I had to learn to walk again and now can do pretty good. I still use my walker out side of the house, mostly for my own security as I stumble and fall a lot. Due to the large percentage of the compression I could have been paralyzed from the neck down. I feel very blessed to just have to deal with the neuropathy. My only advice would be to have a good Neuro Surgeon. Where are you located? I would recommend my surgeon if you are in the Houston, Texas area or if you would be able to travel here. Good Luck and may God bless you.
