The dr I went to today believes the Glossopharyngeal Nerve is damaged. He plans on doing a block on Sept 11th. Has anyone had this nerve blocked?
Many here have had it done -- put in search box - I think there is a group here under the groups tab for those who had it done with mixed results. Research allllll you can in the next 3 weeks here and in the book below!
If you ever want to consider MVD -- I would advise against it
as nerve damaging procedures make percentage of outcome of MVD go down
Read "Striking Back" by Dr. Ken Casey if you haven't yet!
Thank you. I will get the book. He also has me using a spray called Hurricane that is a topical. When he sprayed that area I said is the most troublesome instantly the burning & pain decreased tremendously that is why he believes its that nerve. He said if the injection works he will do another one in 6 wks & then if that one works he will put alchohol and destroyed the nerve. I'm scared to death because I live on 12 different pain pills now. I just started a group called Medical Foods. If those work I maybe able to decrease the other ones that have more serious side affects.
i've dont it. for trying to diagnos.
it didn't help for me
Hi Nir,
Do you have TN 1 or 2? Did they try it to rule out GN?
