Hello. January 2022 my life changed, I developed very weird symptoms and no doctors have been able to figure it out. Was just diagnosed with a pituitary tumor 5/24/23, 1.3 cm and harmon testing shows growth harmon not causing to many harmons. Is it the tumor or something else....? I experience fatigue, dizziness, hand pain, arm pain, numbness legs/hands, light headaches, vision issues and horrible joint popping. My neck pops, fingers, wrist, elbows, hips, knees, feet and chest. I have tried many supplements, hot cold therapy and stretching but nothing. Doctor said I had carpal tunnel and last week I saw a Dr at mayo clinic scottsdale AZ, he did harmon test and wants another MRI. Harmon tests like I said seem normal so far. Anybody have this issue, if so please help.

Hi @arronb, I'm sorry to hear that you do not yet have answers for your symptoms. I'm glad to hear that you were able to seek care at Mayo Clinic. Were you diagnosed with a pituitary neuroendocrine tumor (PitNET)? What did the MRI show?

I had symptoms of weakness, numbness to the right side of the body mostly with headaches, fatigue. Many symptoms. Told they weren't related to the tumor (1.5 cm) because hormones weren't elevated. HOWEVER, my symptoms resolved IMMEDIATELY following tumor removal. So how the tumor was affecting me is still an unknown but all I know is after it was gone my life changed for the better!
Good luck,
Steph
