I was able to find a neurosurgeon that is absolutely wonderful in Springfield, MO. He is so knowledgeable of TN and he took me on as a patient. On June 26th he did MVD surgery on me and I could not be happier, yes there is some healing that has to happen, but after 2 and 1/2 years of constant pain that was so bad I am celebrating this little bit of healing pain I have right now. I know it is not a cure, but I do know that it is a life back to enjoy. He found 2 vessels wrapped around the 1 nerve and was able to fix it. He was surprised about what he found and was very pleased with his out come. I just had to share the sucess and temporary relief that I have. I also wanted to thank everyone on this page for your support and help you guys are fabulous.
Welcome to the remission club…
Enjoy every day…each is a gift
We never know how long it will last…and
Remember…it takes a FULL year for everything to fall into place…!
Thank you so much for the encouragement. I am so excited about the pain difference and I would encourage people to do this and not wait as long as I did. I know the 1st day in recovery I wondered what I did, but everyday since I am pleased I did this and wish I had not waited so long to do this. I know it is just a relief not a cure, but oh what a relief it is no matter how long or short it is, I have 7 grandbabies to spoil and number 8 will be here in February.
I'm so happy for you. I should have my MVD in August and I am looking forward to many pain free days afterward. Enjoy your grand babies they are a gift. I have two, but I hope to have more one day...
After your surgery, did you have any pain?? I had MVD just five weeks ago and I’ve had some small “electric” shock feelings since then. Is this normal??
Jen and DeeDee… Come post your results every few months if you can under
Success stories! That would be great!
Jen… In week 11 after MVD. I had to go back on low dose meds
For a few weeks
Now almost 3 years no meds…no pain…
Now though
Twice per month need lidocaine cream while in a realllly cold room
Or freezer section of store…have to remember to put it on BEFORE shopping!!!
Everybody here are different… Like snowflakes!
