Hey all,

Long time since I last posted in here but, I finally got the official diagnosis. Anesthesia Dolorosa.

I don't know if you all remember that I had an MVD procedure done in Aug of 2006 and it had failed leaving me in more pain. My Neurologist now is Neuropathic Pain Management Specialist, he told me that this was caused from my Neurosurgeon damaging my trigeminal nerve during the MVD procedure. Now, I am in constant pain like when you go to the dentist and the numbing stuff starts to wear off but this never does, it feels like pins and needles yet it never ends. My Neurosurgeon wanted nothing to do with me after the surgery and now I know why! He kept telling me to "give it more time to heal". The bad thing is I have no "physical" way to prove it because you can't physically see the damage. (It's not like he cut the wrong arm off, it is worse no one can see my pain) Anyways, I am posting to see if there are any other people out there that have had the same thing happen to them.

Anyone else out there that is suffering from Anesthesia Dolorosa after a MVD procedure? I would love to know that I am not alone!!!
