A spinal tumor diagnosis can raise a lot of questions such as:
-
Where does spinal tumor originate?
A spinal tumor can originate within the spinal column or spread to the spine from somewhere else. Primary tumors originate in the spine and are very rare. Secondary tumors are spread from another part of the body, such as lungs, breasts, or thyroid.
For more information, look for one of the experienced and certified Neurologist in Punjab, and book your initial consultation with him.
-
If I undergo radiation therapy, will I be radioactive?
Most patients who need radiation therapy undergo external radiation therapy, which does not make you radioactive. This type of therapy is often provided on an outpatient basis.
-
Is therapy is painful or not?
Most of the patients reported increased pain or discomfort following radiation therapy, but the pain is temporary. Radiation therapy may cause tissue inflammation as treatment affects tumor cells.
Symptoms of spinal tumor can be:
-
Back pain, often radiating to other parts of your body
-
Feeling less sensitive to pain, heat, and cold
-
Loss of bowel or bladder function
-
Difficulty walking, sometimes leading to falls
-
Back pain that's worse at night
-
Loss of sensation or muscle weakness, especially in your arms or legs
