Suffering From Pituatory Gland Tumor And Knee Pain. Are These Related?
Hello, I was told that I have a pituitary gland tumor just went for another MRI and CT scan yesterday. Today my knee is hurting really bad, and it is something new. I hope I am just being over cautious, but seems like everyday there is something new going on in my body.

Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Knee pain is not related to pituitary gland tumor.
Anyway, there is no need to worry about the pituitary gland tumor also, as it is treatable. If the tumor is small in size (microadenoma), then, it can be treated with medications alone (without surgery).
However, if the tumor is bigger, then, surgery is needed (which can be done through nose, without opening the skull).
I hope my reply has helped you.
I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
Best wishes,
