i have a problem sleeping on my back and putting my two legs together usually  when i sleep. I also can not jump nor run and walk with pain. Recently it was detected from an MRI test that i have a tumor in my spinal pathway which is pressing against the nerves that controls my movement. They want to open my back and take sample for a biopsy and some friends are advicing i should find an alternative means. May i know what your advice will be. Thank you. I am 47 yrs and 1.75m high, weighing about 96 kg. Charles
Hi, dairy have gone through you question. I can understand your concern. You have some spinal tumor.  It is very important to know the type and nature of tumor.  You need decompression surgery and for that biopsy is must.  It will give you exact diagnosis regarding your tumor type, grade and other details.  Band on that you should plan your treatment accordingly. Hope I have answered your question, if you have doubt then I will be happy to answer. Thanks for using Chat Doctor.
