Posted by oparies @oparies, Jan 18 5:43am

My Daughter is in the hospital for the following symptoms she described:
"I feel like my chest is getting crush ,
my neck, I get this shock sensation down my spine up my neck"
She also said experience numbness on rightside of face.
One doctor mentioned it's partly a legion. We are in the surrounding areas of Texas if anyone may recommend a good Dr.

I chose not to have surgery and learned how to work with my symptoms. It’s challenging some days but I think for myself that no surgery was best.

Houston - the Hub of great medical facilities....ei Baylor. Where is this lesion supposed to be. Sounds as though "working around it is not such a good idea and that perhaps you should have further specialized evaluation...depending on where the lesions is....ie Ortho, Neuro etc. Texas A & M has a great Medical school, so you are very close to some good resources. See if your PCP can refer you, if not attempt a self referral.
