been to see neurosurgeon today,went in today kind of hoping i would be a step closer to mvd but knew my mri came back clear so had a few worries.so went in to see him today he told me because of my age (37) and for some reason i told him the pain shoots down the face instead of up (to tell the truth couldnt say which way it shoots when it starts)he seems to think i might not evan have tn and sending me to see some speicalist on the jaw.i got diagnosed with tn in 1998 my pain is consistant with tn and not like tempromandibular joint syndrome been so down all day completly gutted.....
Okay, on the good side, u might not have TN. Did he/she suggest what it might be?
yeh! the same tempromandibular joint syndrome that i got tested for yrs ago! and they said i didnt have it then, i looked it up and non of the pain is anything like what i get,sorry if i sound pissed off but its 2 steps forward 10 steps back feels like gone back to 1998!!!!!
Hi Phil,
I had three MRI scans and an enhanced 3D scan (can't remember the technical name) and nothing showed up in any of them. The surgeon still went ahead with my MVD and once he was in there, he saw clear signs of what was causing the pain, even though there was nothing showing on the scans.
Regards
Jim
