I had a hearing test at hospital following an acoustic neuroma surgery which left me with hearing in one ear. That ear is now losing upper speech patterns, and doctors recommending a hearing aid. At reputable hearing centers, hearing aids range from 0 to 00,(for one) and some require a high consultation fee. The on line centers average around 5 which is a big difference when you have no insurance. Thanks.

When I step on my left foot it hurts on my ankle and stops hurting when I lift or am sitting down. Would an over the counter brace help to fuse the fracture of would I need to see my podiatrist? I had problems with the left foot in the past and was diagnosed with Morton's Neuroma and wear an thin hard insert in my shoe all the time.

My doctor says I most likely have Morton's Neuroma, although there is a chance it could be Capsulitis. It doesn't seem like I get more than advice since I don't really have money, but I was told to get new shoes and give my foot a lot of rest, but I am a very active person, and even after days of rest the irritation doesn't seem to go away, and I want to know if there's anything I can do to help me get back to exercising and sports as soon as possible.

What should I do to help my foot heal, and how can I tell when it's safe to run again?

I was diagnosed that almost a year ago and now I see a different doctor at the same practice and he is telling me that in all his 26 years of being a podiatrist that he has never seen anyone with that diagnosis. I was fine up until a week ago when they gave me a shot of lidocaine (just to numb them) so they could make sure they were going in the correct spot for surgery and now the pain is 10 times worse(never had pain like this before). So my regular doctor isnt in and I see this other guy who tells me that I just have metatarsalgia? Anyone who can tell me anything I would be grateful.

For about a year now I have had some really weird symptoms. I have an extreamly short temper, I lack emotional stability, and have severe memory loss. I actually have been going through some really bad depression as a result of a breakup about 6 months ago (everything appeared to be fine, but apparently some of the reasons stem from the symptoms I have expressed here). I am starting to think that all of these issues (syptoms) might be a result of some sort of mass in my brain. I have a weird blocked sensation in my right ear, and as a result of I have been bumping into things. I am very scared at the moment because every time I type in the symptoms on google it comes up with Accoustic Neuroma. I don't have health inssurance and I live in California. What do I do?

which is a tumor in his brain right behind his eye and right next to his ear, he has gotten every treatment possible to avoid surgery and still minimize the tumor and get rid of it, well all of the treatments have not worked on him and the best and only way to get rid of it would be surgery but when a person with this kind of tumor gets surgery it is really common that one of the sides of his face would get paralyzed, now my question is,.
will his face be paralyzed forever or will it come back to normal? and what other things can happen to him as an effect of having surgery? also if anyone knows of someone who has had this done or a doctor that would really help please give information.
thank you

For many years I've had a feeling of fullness in one side of my face and my ear, and the hearing in one of my ears seems to be slightly worse (that which is on the side of the fullness)
I thought I may have an acoustic neuroma, I have no experienced any balance problems or vomiting/nausia etc, nor do I have headaches.
I do however have random pains on the same side of my head, I haven't had these for quite a while. They seem to be like a quick lightning sensation in a small area of my brain which lasts for less than a second. They are accompanied by ear aches. About a year ago I also had sensations where it felt as if the muscle above my eye was slightly disfunctional. In the fullness of my face, I have no sensation of numbness nor of any pins and neadles or tingling.
I was told by a face expert that the cartilage in my nose was blocked and may be causing these issues. I am somewhat sceptical of this, as I want to know exactly how a problem in my nose could be causing ear aches, and my nose is not blocked, but the lining in one nostrol was apparently thicker.
I was given a nasal spray known as Nasonex containing memotasone furoate, cellulose, glycerol...
This spray meant that my symptoms more of less dissapeared... until the spray ran out. Could it still be an acoustic neuroma, is it worth getting an MRI to check?

kind regards

Has anyone had any experience treating MN naturally (herbs, massage, acupuncture, chiropractic, etc.) to FIX the problem (not alleviate, FIX!!!). If so, what have you done, what were the costs, when did you have it done and how long did it take to fix?

Thank you in advance!

Is Acoustic neuroma fatal? like, can i die from it?
i have vertigo for almost 2 years now.. my dad believes that it will just go away through exercise and vitamins. i love my dad but he gets really stubborn and will not listen sometimes. i am suffering because of his lack of understanding.

i was at the doctors before but my doctor said i should just take serc for a month and come back but my dad was like, that much medication wont do you any good bla bla bla so up until now i am just taking it in and living life. i have decided to tell my dad that i REALLY cannot handle it anymore and go to the docs.

today, i had enough courage to really search what vertigo is THOROUGHLY and the worst that i have heard about the causes of vertigo is Acoustic neuroma. let's say i have it, and it took me this long to actually take action. will it affect me severely and may die under surgery or what?

please be kind to your replies. i am.. a weak girl who has suffered, a lot of abuse (dont worry, it's not my dad) and lies and betrayal. scaring me with ur answers or giving me false or asshole-ish ones will do u no good and will just make me feel bad.

please and thank you.

Please can someone answer this just so that it doesn't get removed cause I want to speak to other people with this benign tumour. If you read this after it expires and you have the same thing as me then email me via the link. Thank you
