i’ve Been told I have an acoustic Neuroma, I have been suffering from Numbness/pins and needles in hands/arms feet/legs for some years.  I also have pains in neck/head/shoulders could this all be connected? 

  • Hi and welcome to the online community

    Thank you for completing your profile as it does help when people reply to you. I can understand what a shock it must have been to be diagnosed with an acoustic neuroma after years of having symptoms explored. If you click on the link I've created it will take you the information that Macmillan has about this benign tumour including possible symptoms. 

    I couldn't see the symptoms you described listed but the best people to ask would be the team who are looking after you. You mentioned that you have an appointment with ENT so if this is soon you could ask then. If not then it would be best to get in touch with the team who diagnosed the tumour as soon as possible.

    I hope you can get these other problems sorted soon

    Hi Traggah,

    I'm not sure the two would be connected, especially if the pins and needles are both sides, it will be worth mentioning to the specialist and if it's not connected then I would ask your GP Slight smile
