DoodleBug, I also have had two MVD's at Rochester Mayo. The first was 8/24/08, the second was two months later (exactly even, 10/24/08). There was a classic presentation of blood vessel/nerve for the first, but I did not have any relief. The second they treated a second site, and also 'sectioned' the nerve. (Partially cut through it.) I have numbness on the entire side of my face, but no pain. Occasionally I'll feel a tingling sensation on that side, like the nerve is waking up, but no pain. I'd be interested in knowing who your doctor was, if you'd like to discuss that, please PM me. I was very happy with mine, even if it took two surgeries. I believe he did the best he could for my circumstance.
