Wow, I am so so elated for you! To find relief from TN is wonderful. I have been looking for a physician in southern CA. Or anywhere for that matter who can inject me with Botox in the Trigeminal nerve area located in the rear jaw joint area of my mouth. If anyone, specially Carito (because you have had success!), knows of a doctor & email or phone # of that doctor I would be most grateful… Thank you, so bery much for sharing your update! For me it is oh so timely. It’s pretty much my last shot at help for now. I won’t have the 5th nerve severed. I just can’t face…my entire face being numb as well as muscle coordination loss & other undesirable side effects. Thank you! TNP for 6yrs
Carito, How did the TN react with the Botox injection? Did the sensation of the needle penetrating your face not cause an attack, this is what worries me.
Carito, Would you please share the Doctor's name, phone # or web sites with us. I'm thinking about giving botox a try my self
I live on Long Island. Are there any doctors in the area that will use botox. My neurologist doesnt use it>
I had botox and would never do it again… it triggered an attack 1 hour after and the pain has been non stop for the past 10 days… pain before was nothing compared to what it’s like now
