Neurological Symptoms - 04-09-2014 10:22 PM
Back with new symptoms to describe....It's exhausting, isn't it?
My husband has a referral to a neurologist for sporadic numbness on one side of his face (from below eye socket to jaw). It is opposite side of BOT tumor and opposite side of wisdom tooth extraction in 11/13.
In addition to chemo-induced neuropathy, which he has had all along, he recently developed numbness in part of one hand (same side as facial numbness), which a hand specialist diagnosed as atypical acute carpal tunnel. The orthopedist mentioned radiation as a complicating factor.
Does any of this sound familiar as possibly related to radiation damage? I don't remember these symptoms being discussed.
Hope others are having fewer side effects. The increasing list of problems, jaw and neck spasms, gum recession, hiccoughs ,etc., is becoming difficult for us to manage.
