Hi im 11 months post op, i had a right side Meningioma that was pushing on the nerves to my left side, since the op i have got clonus and spasticity and altered sensation down my left side, Has anyone else experienced this nerve damage and if so how are you getting on and how far down the line are you.

Thanks would be nice to hear from you.

Hi good evening. No probs, not alota change for me either 🤷...but the cold weather really slows/puddles my brain.

Botox??? Don't like needles 😆

Still receiving physio,really helps but wears off too quickly!!

Like you say we soldier on....what else can we do??

Take care and carry on!!
