Go for it!! As long as you have a good surgeon! I am 30 years old and had MVD when I was 27. My neurosurgeon was hesitant at first too but I could get no pain relief and was so pumped full of Lyrica and Carbatrol that I could barely function! Let me tell you it was the best decision of my life. I wasn't even scared to do it. The morning of the surgery I was like, let's do this! I remember waking up in the recovery room and wanting water so bad because my throat was so dry and of course they can't give it to you but they give you ice chips and it was the first time in a year that I had something in my mouth without having a shooting pain in my face. I just laid there and cried because it had worked. Now the recovery part was a little rough, there was definitely some pain from the surgery and it took a few weeks before I felt back to myself, but I was pain free!
Now that was two years ago and I am now having some twinges again and I am working with my surgeon again to see if we can control it just with meds or if we need to radiate the nerve and be done with it. But I couldn't imagine not have had that surgery. You are far to young to not be living your life to the fullest!!! Go for it!!!! Good luck to you, all the best don't give up! Quote:
