              My "guess" would be the tumor is getting large enough to impinge on a nerve.  That could cause shooting pains as well as numbness.  My guess is that the symptoms would continue unless the tumor is removed.  However, it could be something else entirely….

              Hang in there,

                  I agree with Janner. Sounds like it is pressing on a nerve which would cause ths shooting pains and the numbness.
