Mri

Hi Guys,

Thought I would update you on progress. Saw Neuro on Tuesday and was told that although nothing could be seen on left side where I experience most pain there was definite compression on right side where I feel mostly numbness. He also order MRI of spine, tegretol now at 1000mg in three divided doses and Cymbalta 60mg morning and night.

Hope everyone is feeling OK

Hi, this is interesting to me, I had a finding on MRI with a blood vessel on the left, but my worst pain is on the right, no finding. I got the ear loss nerve VIII ruled out as being compressed but nothing else came of it. But this neurotologist I saw told me a negative MRI does not mean you do not have TN, ATN and for me I think I have atypical GN. Can't get to a therapeutic dose of the meds because of side effects, but still taking them, low doses of 4, gabapentin, baclofen, percocet and time-released morphine added instead of increasing the percocet...that tolerance thing.
