I had an MVD 4.5 years ago and have been pain free since then. The surgery
DID give me my life back. Headaches and temporary loss of hearing in my right ear after surgery on the right side. My MRI did not show a problem but the surgeon found "multiple" blood vessels tangled around the nerve. His words exactly. Spent 1 day in intensive care and 2 days in a regular room at the hospital. Be prepared to wake up with a catheter. They neglected to tell my that part in my pre-op consultation. lol. Headaches lasted about 2 weeks and was back to work after 4 weeks. But yea have someone with you for a while when you get home. Oh and they will shave part of your head.
The best thing I ever did was having surgery....
