Hi all, my first time here. I had MVD 1-26-08 and had 2 arteries and a vein compressing my nerve. Anyoo, it's been approx. 6 wks I am doing much better I believe. However I am still having the electric jolts in my V1 and V2 at least a few x's a week. They are intense as ever. I don't have near as many but I do have some. I am also getting a creepy crawly sensation there a lot now. Does anyone know of the MVD not working? How long should it take before I get worried? Any thoughts? I have been able to reduce the Tegretol from 800mg to 400mg/day but I'm not sure should I stay, go back up, continue to go down? I go back to neurosurgeon 4-1-08. Just want someone going thru this opinion.
