I am suffering with TN for 1 year, still trying to get the meds right. I am taking Lyrica. My pain is sporatic and mostly in the evening. I am interested to know what MVD surgery is..

So sorry to hear you are suffering - I too have sporadic pain centered in my right ear and surrounding area. Mine is far from the point (thank God) that I feel the need for surgery, but there are several threads here regarding this surgery that will tell you all you will need to know. Just do a search forum at the top of the posts and type in MVD and you should see several. There are one or two that members have given detailed day by day accounts of their surgeries and recovery.

Good Luck!
