my new neuro doc tried to tell me that is what I have after my Neuro of over 8 years passed away. I was told that I have T.N. by him but now my new Neuro says he thinks it is RSD . My PNS ...aka spine cord stim saved my life . after being on the med merry -go - round for 3 years and nothing helping. I have had my stimulator for ... this July will be 10 years. I do not think it is RSD it dose not get red or feel hot it has not spread so I am just sticking with my original Neuro doc and say its is T.N .
here is my thread in the T.N. forum about PNS for face pain.... long read of others having the surgery but may be helpful ...
