Title: left side AN-post radiosurgery 5 years
Post by: megmadison on August 15, 2012, 12:17:44 pm

Does anyone have any residual pain this far out? I have intermittent pain and numbness that runs the length of the entire left side of my body, wrist, hand, neck, leg, toes, fingers...I had a 8 mm AN (left side) that I chose to have radio surgery done in Madison WI in 2005...could this possibly be related?

Hi, Meg ~

I'm sorry to learn about your pain issue at 5 years post-op.  I suspect your pain is not related to the AN or the surgery but that is really a question for your doctor, who knows your medical history and can order any necessary tests to determine the actual cause of your radiating pain.
