Hi Dawn,

I'm afraid I cannot interpret your MRI report for you, but know plenty from personal experience about TN and Neuropathic Facial Pain. You are right in that things often do not show up on MRIs, mine did show an arterial knot round the nerve, so I am 'lucky' to have a definitive dx.

What you describe is typical, I'm afraid, but you are very fortunate to have a strong, positive reaction with the Gabapentin. I am very pleased for you, do not stop taking it without a plan from your Neuro. Let's hope it keeps the pain under control.

Whatever you would like to discuss about this painful condition, I am always available. We have a TN Forum here, if someone could pop in a Link, please.

Dave.
