I had my MVD in 1997 and remember everything about the whole TN and recovery experience. What is so crazy is how I feel like it was a lifetime ago but still so fresh that I will never forget it. I remember feeling so alone because there was no one my age (27 at the time) and no real online or other support groups. One thing I do know is that I have not had ONE day of ANY PAIN since the surgery. Good Luck and you are never alone...
