Some spinal tumors may result in leg or arm weakness and numbness, sciatica, partial paralysis, spasm, bowel or bladder problems, or spinal deformity. Whether they are benign or malignant, spinal tumors will affect nerves, causing pain, paralysis or other nerve problems. Treatment includes surgery, radiotherapy, chemotherapy and medication.
