This is my second bout - it started in June and I have been put on so many meds that have not worked that I have lost count. How long have you been waiting for MVD? Anyone recommend MVD?

I'm six weeks post-op, am off meds and am 100% pain free.

After a couple of years, I found the right neurologist and surgeon and opted for the MVD for my Type I TN.

Everyone's case is different, of course, but I'm so glad I did it.
