I had a spinal tumor removed 1-17-17 and now everything that touches my right leg feels hot. I don't know what to do my sergeant says it the tumor that is causes this problem because he couldn't remove all the tumor.

I had meningioma surgery at the T5-T6 level two and a half months ago. My surgery was not elective because my spinal cord was 90% compressed from the tumor. Before that time, I'd endured several months of excruciating pain in my legs and was barely able to walk even with a walker. I actually fell and broke my ankle because my balance was so bad. In the weeks before my surgery I also developed abdominal tightness that made my life entirely miserable. I took several medications for the pain, but none of them helped. Like many of you, it took quite a while to be diagnosed correctly.
I'm leaving this post mainly as an encouragement, as my recovery has gone very well. After surgery, for about a month, I had burning pain in my legs that was- surprisingly- somewhat relieved by pointing a fan at them as I lay on the sofa. The abdominal tightness persisted for about two months but has now gone away completely. As far as my mobility, I have been going to physical therapy and that has been very helpful. The first month after surgery, I needed a walker. The second month I needed a cane, and at this point I am walking independently again. My balance is good -but not perfect and I'm working on that at physical therapy. I have very minor pain in my feel and knees if I walk for a long time--but,at age 61, I might have that anyway! I couldn't be happier with the results on my surgery and hope and pray that many of you reading this will have the same results from your surgery!

I had very slight numbness in my feet and legs prior to surgery. However, surgery caused significant loss of sensation in my lower body. I am now 2.5 years out from surgery, and I would say my sensation has improved very little over that time (I'm sorry to say). My legs and feet tingle, tremble, and zing all the time. I agree this is the body's attempt to heal, but I honestly just wish it would stop. I guess the bad news is that the loss of sensation has not improved. But the good news is that I have totally adapted to the new sensations. I do everything I did before, just with a numb body (I'm numb all over from the neck down). I occasionally have the burning sensation too, but not often.
