Hi there. So sorry to hear that you are having so many problems. I had my mvd on June 19th and so far I'm doing great. I'm glad they took your titanium plate out. I'm sure that was causing alot of your problems after the surgery as far as the metallic taste and what not. I didn't have a plate put in after my surgery thank goodness. Did they say what was causing your tn pain to start with? Just wondering if it was a blood vessel or something else. Mine was large veins that were growing and pushing on the nerve. I'd like to say to just give your nerve time to heal from the surgery but it seems like it shouldn't be giving you so many problems still. What does your doctor say about it?

Hi rparrack, so sorry to hear about the struggle you are having. I don't know much about atypical TN. Keep trying to get answers and find things that help! Perhaps the pain will ease in time. It's interesting that the worse pain is about once a month. Can you identify anything you do or eat that is different at those times. You say stress is a factor, so I hope you are working on ways to lower your stress (meditation, yoga, etc.) I wish you the best.
