Internal Body Tremors and Tinnitus

I’m not sure, because the numbness in my feet and hands came about two months after chemotherapy treatments. Four or five days after my first treatment I got C-diff and was given antibiotics for it. Basically that’s when I started feeling the symptoms in my abdomen and a compression feeling throughout my rib cage area. Then three weeks later had my second chemo treatment and things got worse. Found it very hard to take deep breath’s and ended up going to the ER several times. The first ER visit was because I had an A-fib episode m, that’s when I found out I had breast cancer. That was eleven months ago now. Now I’m basically told it could take up to two years to get back to normal, or at least I’m hoping for that!

You have been through a great deal, @d13. I agree that it might take a long time. When nerves are damaged it can take a while for them to regenerate.

Last summer I had plastic surgery on my eyelids and forehead to correct some vision problems and I still have a great deal of numbness. The surgeon said the numbness would dissipate only a millimeter a month.

I know I can't compare my surgery to yours but it is an example of how long it can take. Have any physical therapies been suggested?

No therapies have been suggested by my doctor. I am going to make an appointment with my new primary; who I have only seen once, but she did seem concerned. She told me to come in when after I see my oncologist to hear what he had to say and go from there. I’m going to see if she thinks seeing an endrocologist would help. If not, hopefully she’ll have suggestions for me.

This sounds like a good plan, @d13. I hope you get some answers and most important, some hope.

Will you post again and let me know how you are doing?

Sure, I’ll flag this and hopefully I won’t have to wait too long for an appointment.

I have ringing in my left ear along with headaches, head and neck pressure and brain fog since having covid in November of 2021. Did you have covid?

Sorry to hear that I have ran and both of my ears I had MRI done a CAT scan done been on toner medication nothing works I can’t sleep I can’t focus I have a hard time working I wish you the best

Can’t ringing in the ears be just á normal head condition? Í ám 80+ years öld and don’t know if Í never had tinnitus. Í remember being súrprised when á college friend with á head cold complained about hér ears rigning. To me it’s just part of á normal condition.

@kkinsley I was wondering how these symptoms are for you now? Have you gotten any relief or diagnosis?

I developed a persistent case of tinnitus in my left ear that began in 2004 when I had a (SCS) spinal cord stimulator threaded down through C4-5 to the L-4, S1 area (SCS was removed in 2010). I have seen an ENT specialist and had a CT scan done in 2005 with the diagnosis of tinnitus, “etiology unknown”. To this day in 2022
I still have very loud pulsations in my left ear which sounds like a loud tinny echo that just never goes away. I’m taking CBD hemp oil, 50mg which helps me to relax and sleep at night. This constant ringing in my ear has become my new normal now…
