My wife was diagnosed with acoustic neuroma and hydrocephalus based on her MRI, and the tumor size is 43x42x38mm. We're really hesitant about surgery are there any medications or non-surgical treatments that could help shrink or manage the acoustic neuroma? If so, what are the options?

I'm really concerned because for the past few days, my index finger on the left hand has been twitching a lot. It doesn't hurt, but it used to happen only occasionally and now it's happening all the time. I work with computers all day, but this twitching occurs even when I'm not using the laptop, like when I'm just resting. My other fingers are totally fine. When I saw a doctor, they mentioned it might be due to computer use or a vitamin deficiency. I'm just wondering, could there be any other reason for this? Is there any medication I could take to help with the twitching?
each organ of the body can withstand some amount of stress , if strain for muscle exceeds its capacity muscle become fatigue and causes twitching. This is not only for finger , it happens after strenuous exercise , anxity etc.. Nothing to worry , take nutritious food and strengthen your muscles .

What should I do about this pain? Can we meet to discuss treatment options? I really need to find a way to get rid of it. Right now, I can only sleep when I take Maxgalin to ease the pain, but I'm worried about how long I should keep using it.
You can take Maxgalin for pain relief for as long as your doctor prescribes it. It is important to follow the recommended dosage and duration of treatment. Maxgalin is commonly prescribed for neuropathic pain and the dosage can vary depending on the severity of your pain. It is important to consult with your doctor before making any changes to your medication regimen.
