Has the pain stayed away, I guess you are in the US, I wonder if you can get the equivalent in England? How severe was your pain? Many thanks

Hi daisy ji,
The pain is still gone and yes I live in Moore, Okla. My pain was like knife cutting pain. Like the pain from my corpal tunnel surgery without any pain killer. I didn't deaden and they went ahead and done the surgery. I believe my neuralgia was from the trauma from it. That was the 27 of Dec. 2007 and the neuralgia started somewhere around two or three weeks later. ** Mine is called: Glossopharygneal Neuralgia which affects the ear and throat.
