hello has anyone has a nerve sheath tumor removal in the cervical spine?? how was recovery? i currently have a left side c3-4 shwannoma im a mom to a little toddler so i just want to be prepared, very anxious about the subject 😞
28, partial hearing loss left ear, tinnitus, balance issues, word discrimination (and feeling less in my left face cheek) mri-upcoming, unfortunately fearing the worst...
2 months ago i suddenly had partial hearing loss (20 db), i was put on prednisolon for 2 weeks because it seemed like i had an infection or something along those lines. Hearing seemed to get better because the liquid behind my ear drum cleared, but after the 2 weeks my hearingloss went back to where it was. Last month my hearing got worse (30 db), i waited because i hoped it would clear up, but it didn't. Another hearing test (last week) and the doctor said an mri and bloodtest should help clear up what the problem is. The thing is, the mri is in 2 months, and if my hearing gotten worse last month, then it isn't the craziest thing to think it might get worse in the next to two months. I'm starting my research internship in september, and i'd like to know before that what is going on. Would it be unreasonable to ask if the mri could be pushed up and is that even possible?
I'm aware there is a high work pressure in hospitals and that there is most likely a waiting list and i don't want to be selfish! Since there are probably dozens of people who need an mri way more than i do...
What do you think? Does anybody have any experiences like/with this?
Please be nice to me, english is not my first language, so maybe some things might come across not how i want them to come across (and i'm sorry about that!)...
Had a mri scan and was told I had a 3.4cm lesion on my cerebellum and I just want to know if anyone else has had a similar experience and story’s about it and or surgery stories I just want to know more about it. It helps reading other people’s stories
