6 more days until I get the PSR procedure, my TN pain is getting worse because the effectiveness of the Dilantin I'm taking is decreasing. I'm still apprehensive about this surgery because I would love to have the TN pain gone again however the prospect of having the left side of my face numb in some areas for life is kind of scary. Again I would like to ask if anyone has had the procedure or knows anyone who has had it and what the outcome was?
Thanks
