I'm dx'ed with TN and your experience sounds very similar to mine.

I've lived with TN for 23 yrs...the last six with pain management.

I had a large cyst, then surgery. About six months after that, the TN made itself known to me and has remained the same since. It's not gotten worse, not gotten better. It just stays the same.

I had many root canals, teeth removed, etc. due to the TN. I wasn't dx'ed and it was a search for the pain...having more unnecessary surgeries and dental work.

There are triggers that I've learned to avoid, and that helps but only to a degree. I also have the constant pain, then get the worse "zaps".

I wish you more than well, and hope you keep us informed.
