Hi Omariffic,
I have had both the gamma knife and the mvd procedures done. It has been 8 months since my mvd procedure in June and I had the gamma knife in May. I am doing wonderful with no nerve damage that I've noticed at all. I was on a lot of medication before both procedures and now I am weaning myself off of everything. I have had no pains or twinges at all so far. If you haven't already read it, a wonderful book to get is Striking Back. I read that book so many times before I had anything done and tried to make sure I was very informed about everything. I hope this helps you.
