Acoustic neuroma found during an MRI which discovered Hydrocephalis. Brain surgeon implanted a shunt, which took some getting used to. Had a problem with dizziness, lack of balance--but therapy helped. Doc decided not to do anything to the neuroma--just observe, so I still have it, and do feel sharp pain in that area fairly often.
The good part is that my balance is better, am able to exercise, speak logically, and not use a cane. Just have to take life a day at a time and be thankful that we can walk and talk and move.
