Has there been any medications that eases the side effects of cyberknife surgery. i dont have the pain anymore per se, but i have had the consistent numbness that affects my speech from time to time and is a major disruption during normal activities like eating and drinking. The left side of my face feels swollen more at times than at others. My left ear is always full and popping. It is discouraging for a neurologist to say it may go away and it may not. anybody else experience this?
