Hello
 

Hello everyone, I am hoping to get help and help others on these message boards.

I am a 30-yr old with a nerve sheath tumor (or less likely a cyst) on my L5 nerve root. The neurologist thinks it is likely a scwannoma but I have to see a neurosurgeon. If anyone has experience with a similar situation, I would appreciate suggestions.

Thanks again.

Welcome to NT

No I don't have tumors or cysts that I know of, and on the L5. Ummmm. They can be anywhere.

This is the spinal disorder forum to get you started
