Ugh!

I am 7 months post MVD surgery (on my left side). I am still suffering headaches related to the surgery and I take 50 mg of amitriptyline which takes care of the headaches, but I have not had any more TN pain since day 1 after surgery. I have bilateral TN and was lucky because the right side TN had gone into remission shortly before surgery. Unfortunately, in the middle of last week I started having intense pain above my right eye (mostly in the evenings). I am awaiting a call back from my doctor, but I think it is TN starting back up. :( I guess I couldn't hide forever from the pain!!!

I am sorry…maybe it will die back down. You never know. It stopped…so maybe it can stop again. I wish you luck.

this is a miserable ailment...i think the the worry and anxiety part is just as bad as the pain sometimes (of course not the 10/10) pain-- hope it backs down!!
