Kathy, I'm glad your surgeon is following you...and I have to admit I am shocked!
If I didn't have the complications, I would have seen him one more time to get the stitches out and that would have been it. I've seen him more b/c of all the stuff that happened...but not b/c of the TN.
My neuro said she had sent three people in for MVDs and only one worked and the TN went away quite a bit. But the other two didn't help or it came right back.
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad they have this option for TN, but there needs to be more research following people afterwards. I'm sure it has helped many people, but 94% is very close to 100%. I don't know. I'm a big fan of research and for something so painful, I think they should know more about the outcomes...and I had it done at a huge teaching hospital....maybe a 21-year-old med student did my surgery! LOL
