My father had surgery for a Schwannoma two years ago and now requires varicose vein surgery. A CT (computerized tomography) scan was performed six months ago, which showed no growth of the lesion.

Is it possible for tension headaches to lead to nerve pain and weakness?
Hello doctor,
A month ago, I was hospitalized for constant headaches and dizziness. A few days later, they sent me home with the diagnosis of tension headaches. I have been in physiotherapy for three weeks now. For the past week or so, I have been feeling really weak, injuring myself constantly. The other day, I was blowing my nose and felt pressure in my ear and jaw. The next day, that side of my face did not feel much pain, almost like it was numb. Today, I woke up with nerve pain all over my body. I took a pill, and it kind of went away. I took a bath, and as I was trying to stretch my leg, it sort of slipped, and my toes kind of felt separated, and it was painful to walk at first. I took an Ibuprofen, and now I can walk, but my toes still feel strange. I lay down, and suddenly, the side of my leg softened.
Thank you.
