What Causes Discomfort Deltoid Muscle Inspite Of Having Tumor Near Spinal Nerves?

I have a 6.4 cm tumor extending out of my T-3/T-4 spinal nerves extending out to the edge of my left lung closest to my esophagus. I have been asymptomatic; however, recently, I have been feeling slight discomfort on my left deltoid, trap and lat muscles. At times I have a feing of back pain in the middle is spine. I take adderral 10 to 15 mg every other day. I noticed that this discomfort is less to non existent when I don t take my medication. Does adderral trigger the pulsation a of those nerves to cause this discomfort on the left side? Also, does it have an impact on tumor growth?

Firstly, your symptoms are explained by the tumor location as these muscles are partly supplied by nerves arising from T3-4. Adderal on the other hand has no known triggering effect on the pain or on tumor growth. The tumor however will continue to grow and cause further problems. So I suggest you get it removed.
