I am a newbie! In November 2010 I was diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia, meds did not work to stop the attacks so in February 2011 I had MVD surgery. My surgery was 6 hours long followed by 2 days in ICU and 2 days in a regular hospital room. I immediatley suffered from numbness on the right side of my face from just below my nose to my jaw including half my mouth and tongue. And just in front of my right ear. I also have severe itching and tingleing and still have small attacks which are more annoying than painful. My docs say this is normal for awhile after MVD but is has been 3 months. More recently I have pain when any pressure is put on the sight of my incision is this all really normal? Any thoughts?
