Left Frontal Meningioma surgery recovery

I had my surgery in 2009. Recovery was quick. I left the hospital ahead of schedule and returned to work ahead of schedule. My issues came after the recovery period. It started with pain near the incision site. This progressed to problems with speech and memory with the memory getting worse as time progressed. I would be happy to answer any questions you might have. Good luck with your recovery.

@cindyt I had my surgery Aug 2018. I am also having pain at my incision site that just started. I am having my brain MRI next week to make sure the tumor that was left isn't growing. I go back for my checkup March 4th to review MRI results. I'm also having hand tremors. What is your Dr. saying about incision site pain?

@mrector My doctor said that the pain must be neurological and sent me to a neurologist. The neurologist just gave me pain pills and sent me on my way. My tumor had tentacles some of which could not be removed because of their location. I had annual MRIs to check the status of the remnants for five years. During that time another tumor was found on the top of the frontal lobe. So far it has not grown any at all.

I had my surgery in October of 2016. It went well, but recovery had its challenges. I still have pain (incision site, trigeminal neuralgia (which did improve after surgery), swelling in my head any time there is a weather change, or I fly in a plane, etc). Happy to answer answer questions.

thank you so much.I just would like to know the possibilities. At the moment I'm having pain in my eye. I assume it's because it has had a large mass behind it for so long. I see the NS on the 11th for my post op and I go to the eye institute on the 13th

Thank you so much 🙂 I just want to know what the possibilities are. At the moment my eye is giving me pain (eyeball) I assume it's because it has had a large mass behind it for a long time. I have a lot of swelling still...it's cerebral fluid he says will be re absorbed. I had to remove the arm of my glasses. I see the NS on the 11th and I gor to the eye institute on the 13th

thanks 🙂 May I ask what is trigeminal neuralgia I'm pretty new to all this . I have questions for my NS I don't even know the name of what I had. I'm sure this is all info for the post op
