53 year old female who was walking 4 miles a day three years ago. An adrenal pheo tumor sidelined me and I lounged in a hospital bed for over a month before surgery where they removed the 5 lb tumor we jokingly called Quatro!
Seems like I never recovered. Had problems with energy and walking. After nine months of this and my SCREAMING to five doctors we discovered I have a 20 inch long arachnoid cyst anterior on my spinal cord. Surgery twice, first just puncture and draining, second at Mayo in May this year where a permanent shunt is placed. Keep your fingers crossed. I do feel some relief problem is my lower extremities still are suffering from the nerve damage, pain and balance problems. Has anyone had this problem?
