Hello! I will be traveling to Pittsburgh on September 29 to have my nervus intermedius cut by Dr. Gardner at UPMC. I was wondering if any of you that have flown home after surgery suffered any additional pain, pressure, or if there are any other symptoms or possible problems that I should know about ahead of time. Thanks in advance!

What are the side effects of having this procedure done?? Also you may need extra pain meds for cabin pressure for pain…just a thought…
I’ve heard people mention it happenning before. :-\
Hi RueAnn,
I flew home 6 days after MVD, I needed a wheelchair for distance as I was quite weak and off balance, but the flight itself was fine. ( I was still on TN meds and Tylenol 3s for surgical pain as well as an anti-nausea med)
Yes, what are the side effects of the procedure you’re having?
I hope all goes well RueAnn, I know you have great confidence in your surgeon that makes a huge difference! I pray you are finally relieved of pain!!
I’ll be sending positive thoughts your way…(( hugs )) Mimi
