Hi....I had MVD surgery in Dec. of 2012....great results...About 2 weeks ago I got a cold that went to my ear....I am now on my 2nd round of meds and the doctor sent out a very STRONG steroid to help get rid of the fullness...The right side of my face feels totally stopped up....That is the same side as my surgery was on...Anyone else out there ever experience this? No TN pain, but they don't understand why it won't go away. The ENT even lanced my eardrum to try and help....no help...Thanks for any input.
Hi Cheryl,
I don’t have an answer regarding your ear, although I’ve heard many people mention that long lasting ear fullness after mvd but it usually dissipates over time. What was your Neuro surgeon’s opinion?
I’m so happy to hear of your successful mvd!! I hope the ear clears up soon so you can really enjoy your TN free life!
((Hugs)) Mimi
Thanks for responding....My surgery went well and within a month I was basically pain free...This is just a new issue after I got a cold....going to finish out my meds and if no relief, then I will go back to my ENT and get his opinion. Before anything else is done, I will go to my surgeon...He is the best...:) Still praying it clears up in the next few days...:)
