Had a 5.6cmBenign Meningioma (front right) removed by surgery 8 months ago, recovering well apart from a weakness in my right arm, had it straight after surgery then it almost went away for few months but is now back and it is worse. Also have small jumps in arms and legs, and visable twitching now started too. Awaiting an MRI but very worried this could be a progressive Neuro Disease such as ALS/MND.

Hi Clare, you ought to contact your Consultant again, rather than waiting till after the MRI scan.
Good luck
