First of all thanks to those that sent me the welcome messages, I really appreciate it!... I'm having a difficult time trying to figure out if my new symptoms are my TN acting up again or something completely different. I had MVD in Jan 2011 and have been pain free since until 2 weeks ago. My previous to surgery pain was in the same spot the entire time and the attacks would last about 30 sec or so on the the left side of my face. Now I am getting intermitent sort of like my old pain but not as bad along with my entire face and jaw going numb and then slowly after my left arm goes numb as well. I made and appt to see my neurologist last week but he cant get me in until the 29th. Im really confused as to whether or not this is TN or something else. Has anyone else had this?
