I was diagnosed with a right CSM (small 10mm) 12 months ago. On WW. Initially, only constant headache, for which I receive occipital blocks with some relief. Recently, within the past 2 months, my face has felt like pins & needles and progressed to feeling like it burns. It's usually present around the chin area and travels up to the entire face, sometimes includes my tongue. Duration varies. I've also had 2 short episodes of double vision in right eye. Due for MRI in a week with NS appt. on Feb. 2. A bit anxious that these new symptoms indicate growth and possibility of need for surgery or radiation. Thanks for listening. Any ideas? I know....wait for NS appt. I got to Jefferson University NS in Philadelphia.
