MVD surgery Sept 2013

Hello, Just thought I would add a note here for the locals. I am 18 days post surgery and pain free from Trigeminal Neuralgia Type 1, still have a little Type 2 hovering but not bad. They found artery and vein resting on nerve and padded both sides, vein too big to remove. Had a few issues in hospital, low sodium apparently caused by TN medication Trileptil (1800mg per day too high). No longer taking any medication for this. Problems with ear that is still to be resolved, earaches, blocked, popping etc?? all following surgery. They think the alcohol solution used to cleanse the area pre surgery got into my ear. Happy to discuss further is required. Cheers
