hi everyone, first time on here. I am post op Feb21 the operation went well and was benign which is fabulous. I have a small part left in as it’s in the middle of an artary which was cortorised. Recovery went well got my license back which made me happy. My yearly mri have been good, my main issue is if I do abit to much where my tumour was goes tight a feels like pressure in my head and around my right eye goes numb. Does anybody else have this problem

Hi, Happy to hear all went well and you're recovering well. The numbness will go away, one can't put a time frame to it though. I had my operation 5 years ago and I still feel pressure in the tumour area , I was told that this is my new normal .

I would suggest that you speak with your specialist nurse, they would be able to explain things better.

Good luck woth the recovery and I do hope that this pressure thing goes away for you.

Morning, l hope you feel ok today. I had surgery in 2019, most of the Meningioma was removed but part unable to move. I understand how you are feeling, l have times when headaches and sharp pain behind my left eye happen. Headaches and a muzzy head seems to be a natural symptom now. Take care of you. Jen
