Rare unless diagnose: d by MRI/CT scan. Not sure why you feel you might have a brain tumor based on foot neuropathy, where more common causes could be diabetes, poor circulation, nerve damage in the spinal cord, or things other than a brain tumor. If your neurologist says you are cleared, you have to have some trust in her/his diagnosis & then continue to follow up, or have more tests done (EMG results?)Look elsewhere.

Too isolated: What you describe is too isolated to be caused by a brain lesion. When affected areas of motor (strength) and other sensation typically go together. Neuropathy is an consideration, this affects the nerves peripherally. Rare at 33 without an underlying condition.
