Hi to everybody,
Thought i would just give you all an update on whats been happening.
I have been having excruciating pain with my TN. Been up to the hospital almost everyday now for the last couple of months having nerve block injections of Chirocaine into my face. They are not the most pleasant of things to have done and are really quite painfull to get done but i would cope with anything to stop or at least reduce this pain. And they do help a great deal, although they dont last for very long. Thats the reason i go back most days to have them done again.
I have have been waiting to hear from my Neurosurgeon about having a MVD done, but the waiting list is quite long so they gave me a rough time of about 10weeks but it has been getting longer as they have had emergency cases to get through as well so the time i have to wait has been getting longer as well. Because the pain is so bad now, my consultant in Maillofacial has been faxing over to my Neurosurgeon that i cannot wait this amount of time and need seeing ASAP. I got a phone call yesterday that i go into hospital on 15th August and they operate on 16th of August to do the MVD, so im really pleased that i now have an end in site site hopefully to this horrendous pain.
Thanks for being here for me, and listening to me when im really down.
I just hope this goes well,and that they dont hit the audio nerve or any other nerve that they shouldnt for that matter.
I have to admit i am really scared but i need this doing as cannot continue with this dreaded pain for much longer.
So thought i would give you all an update to tell you the good news.
I hope that we all have a painfree day or at least our pain is less for us all today.
Love Nita xx
