Chronic Pain

Schwannomatosis is the most severe form of neurofibromatosis. It doesn't share symptoms with NF1, but patients can experience some overlapping signs with NF2. Individuals with Schwannomatosis develop tumors in one area of the body, such as a segment of the spine or a single arm or leg.

These abnormal growths may cause widespread, chronic pain. Additionally, doctors might not be able to connect the pain to a specific tumor to manage the severe discomfort.
