Hi all!

So had the balloon compression 2 weeks ago today. I only just got out of hospital a few days ago as there were a couple of other problems that arose but feeling pretty good now.

Pain was originally in V2 area on the left side, since surgery the pain has now moved to V3 on the same side and now affects my lips, gums, teeth and chin. I guess this is from messing around with the nerve, the pains not really where it originally was as it's just numb there now. It feels horrible in my bottom front teeth, like something is pushing them together really hard! And biting is a no-no at the moment too.

The surgeon said give it a few weeks for everything to settle down and if this hasn't worked then they will look at referring me for radiosurgery, I hope it all just settles down as there's a massive wait of about 9-12 months!

Still taking 4000mg Neurontin, 400mg Epilim, a day + codiene & tramadol as needed.

Can't wait for some permanent relief!

Painfree wishes to you all
