I didn't have any issues with numbness and jaw opening, so I'm not able to answer either of those questions for you. I hope they resolve soon. Are you taking B-12 to help your nerve heal?

I wish you the best of luck in getting off all your meds and being pain free. My MVD was 8 months ago and it helped my pain somewhat, but I'm still taking several prescriptions and getting nerve blocks every 6 weeks. I hope your results are better than mine.

Here's wishing you a speedy recovery. I hope your TN goes away completely and forever!
