Trigeminal Nerve Block

I am getting ready for a series of shots in my face for my TN. My Pain Management Dt. will perform a series in injections in my face - into the nerve. I am terrified. Has anyone had this done?

Hi Catwoman,

If you type nerve block into the search box at the top right of the screen you’ll find lots of posts that may prove helpful.

I don’t know much about them, I hope you find relief from this procedure. Let us know how it goes!

Hopefully someone with experience will coma along to answer your question.

No experience of this but my neurologist is suggesting this as an option for me if the medication is not successful. I’ll be interested to hear how it has worked out for other people.

Big hugs

I WOULD NOT do this

That's like chopping off your toe because your foot hurts -- you could end up in pure hell from my perspective.
