Thanks so much. As newly diagnosed with a positive MRI this is immensely helpful.

I had a hard time getting diagnosed because apparently it's rare in someone my age (well, i was 13 at the time). Two years just to get an idea of what was wrong with me. I had the surgery pretty quick though since I went through a private company.
Although I know suffer slight depression (because of having neurolgia), I'm getting over it rather quikcly. :)
I just want to meet sometimes closer to my age that has it... youngest I've found is 18.

I had TN when I was just 13 :( I had the surgery earlier this year.
I'm 16 now, and trust me, this surgery got my life back on track. I was really scared because it was my first ever operation. I'm just glad that my parents were so supportive.

I just had my MVD week ago. Still recovering and feeling great! I am so happy and relieved of my pain. It took me a while to commit to this procedure. After reading other stories and research I found this awesome doctor that made me feel comfortable. I would do this procedure over if I had to. It's really not that bad. Good luck to all!

I've got an MVD scheduled next month. Thanks for posting this. It was very informative.

I just had it done 3 week ago... I wasnt scared before hand, but its not as bad as you think! Make sure you take at least 3 weeks off from work after.

no. it's gotten worse and I had the balloon compression surgery as well and it got worse aftert that too. Some of the pain is completely gone but is replaced by deep aching pain.

I read your post today. I'm having this done in July. Has your pain gone away yet? |
