Does anyone else have a schwannoma/nerve sheath tumor in addition to MS?

I have a small nerve sheath tumor on my cervical spine. I was just diagnosed with both, so still figuring how life with both is going to look/how treatments for one will impact the other. Does anyone else have the MS/nerve sheath tumor combo? How has it impacted you if so?

I’m dealing with MS-related foot drop and persistent nerve symptoms (tingling, cold sensation on the top of the foot). I appreciate the advice about keeping the dorsiflexor muscles active and using an AFO when necessary.My main issue isn’t just muscle weakness though — it feels like the nerve signals themselves aren’t fully getting through, which is causing the tingling and cold feeling.Has anyone actually restored the nerve signaling enough to get rid of foot drop?If so, what specifically helped — therapy approaches, electrical stimulation, medications, or other treatments that improved the nerve signal itself?

Hi everyone. I’m looking for real guidance from people who understand.I’m dealing with tingling and buzzing in my hands and feet, plus foot drop and knee hyperextension. My biggest goal is regaining independence — driving my car, writing comfortably, holding a fork without my hand feeling weak or stiff.For those of you who’ve had similar symptoms:What helped improve your nerve signals or coordination?Did your foot drop get better over time?When were you able to drive again?What exercises or therapies truly made a difference?I’m working hard on recovery, but I want practical insight from people who’ve actually walked this road. I’m determined to get stronger and move forward — I just want to be smart about it.Thank you in advance.

My theory of nerve conduction

I am *not* a doctor or healthcare professional of any kind. But I *am* an electronics engineer. I understand electricity and electrical devices in a very comprehensive way. I read a question here (several, really)asking why MS patients have this utterly peculiar constellation of symptoms. I have a t...
