Hi can anyone advise me on recovery time . Also has anyone also suffered with pain that is similar to tn facepain but in the throat ??? . I was on tegratol but my liver function tests became very high so was took of it . Annoying cause it worked on pain . Now all they will give me is baclofen . This just makes me feel drunk still getting shocking pains . I have pre op assessment for mvd in april although surgeon said he will do mvd even if mri is clear . I just want my life back.and to be able to ride my motorcycle again
