This is extraordinarily timely. A spinal hemangioma was spotted in my MRI (for shoulder pain/numbness!) not 3 days ago. Most of the reading I've done while waiting for feedback has put me at ease, but it came from many sources. This helps me explain a little to my parents what's going on and put them at ease that this is fairly minor as compared to the many other things I've handled. I've been a L2 paraplegic (complete) for 25 years tomorrow and have had many hurdles. This helps me prioritize and stay calm while I figure out treatment options. Thank you!!

I don't unfortunately. I'm certainly not a doctor. @@ItzMeJacE

I have 3 adjacent thoracic spine hemangiomas. My vertebrae are very sensitive to touch. I have a lot of pain in the muscles next to those vertebrae. This pain has been ongoing for 1.5 years. I’m seeing 2 neurosurgeons. I’m hoping major surgery can be avoided. Could you advise on how to find the best surgeon in Sacramento? Bay Area? This is a really great video. Thank you.

Thank you! Very clear explanation.

I was diagnosed. Prominent neurosurgeon claims he can't help me. I guess I have thecwrong insurance.
