Anyone have lingering symptoms after pituitary tumor surgery?

Posted by getwell88 @getwell88, Oct 14 10:43pm

5 months post plurihormonal macroadenoma pituitary tumor surgery and still having symptoms of fatigue, muscle weakness and anxiety . Despite normal blood tests and hormone levels. Taking Lanreotide to treat remaining tumor in sinus cavernous. Has anyone had similar lingering symptoms this far post surgery and if so what did you do to try and get relief. Any help would be appreciated.

Hi, I had my pituitary tumor removed on 14.12.25. I do not want to sound gloomy but I must be honest. Firstly, it has taken me well over a year to recover from the surgery. I do feel better now than before the surgery but some of the symptoms still remain. Maybe they were not attributed to the tumor in the first place. However I could not allow the tumor to grow as it would have messed with my eyesight and brain. I hope this helps.

Matt, thanks for your comments on my post. I’m sorry you have had a rough go of it and can certainly emphasize with you. I appreciate your sharing the good as well as the bad experiences you had. It provides perspective. It also leads me to realize there are many different outcomes after this surgery as each person is different with different circumstances. Thanks again. All the best to you.
