I am a newbie, I was diagnosed with TN last November tried meds, however they did not subside the pain enough to continue working normally and left me very tired and cloudy. I had my MVD in February this year. After a 6 hours surgery, two days in ICU and two days in a regular hospital room I went home.I returned to work 4 1/2 weeks after surgery and that seems to be working ok. I am 3 months post op today, still am numb on the lower half of my face including half my tongue, lips and chin also right in front of my ear. I have some attacks, however they are not intense and are more of a bother than a pain not at all like the attacks prior to surgery. My face itches all the time and I have twinges in my lips and chin. More recently I have been having pain in my incision area and inside the bottom of my eye. I am still on my meds at 600ml per day, mostly because the fear of attacks prevent me from stopping! Doc says this is all normal any thoughts? Thanks in advance for your help.
