How To Treat Meuralgia?

I just had an MRI and was told by a neurologist that the diagnosis was Meuralgia - Primary and under that Meningioma. I lookedu p the word and I m scared to death now. Inbetween the MRI and yesterday I had a cancerous thing removed from the top of my head which came up in the exact same place as it did back in 1982. The Dr then said he got it all and good thing it didn t spider out. Now this Dr tells me this yesterday but he also said don t worry about it sometimes it s common. I had the MRI because of stabbing pains in the back of my eye but the eye specialist said nothing is wrong with my eye. WHO DO I BELIEVE?? I m scared of that word Meningloma. Thank you for your time.

Meningioma is not a malignant tumor of brain. sometimes it can lay there without causing any problem. It can cause problem if size become very large or it compress any important part of brain. As you already underwent surgery- what was the histopathology report of the tumor which was removed? So you not need to worry if it was proven meningioma.
