It has been almost 4 months since I had a resection of a parafalcine meningioma which had invaded the superior sagittal sinus and the calvarium. After surgery my right leg was paralyzed, had a few seizures while in ICU and spatial difficulty. After 2 weeks moved to a rehab hospital for another 2 weeks to have e-stim done and PT to assist in getting my leg to move again. When I left I was using a walker and the leg was slowly getting better I could move my toes and stand on it but it still felt very heavy. I have finally progressed to a cane.

At about 8 weeks my right leg became numb from the tip of my toes up to my hip and my lower back pain came back. I think using the walker I bent over more and it helped alleviate the lumber issues. My neurosurgeon had another MRI done which showed small venous infarction of the left paracentral lobule and the precuneus has evolved into encephalomalacia. He told me this was to be expected and things would continue to get better. Another neurologist he is now having handle my issues wants to do more testing.

Every answer I get is it will take time but things will get better. Why didn't someone warn me of this? I have no life now and just cry. I sleep on average 14 hours a day and told it is due to the brain trying to recover and some of the medications such as Keppra.

Has anyone else had an infarction or had complete numbness of a limb 2 or more months after surgery?
