@annamh Hello Anna:

Thank you for reporting back on your surgery. I hope that your current level of discomfort will be reduced as time goes on. Are you currently taking any medication for the pain?

I wish you well in the coming months. I would enjoy hearing from you as you continue the recovery process.

Still have some meds, starting to titrate off the meds. Will keep you updated.

Anna are you feeling the electrical shock pain, can't mistake that from any other kind of pain. You will feel better, it just takes time. It has been 7 1/2 months and I feel better then at 6 months. You are your best doctor and will know if you are getting better. I hope and wish you all the best.

Thank you for the information, the electrical shock, is down to twice a week so far.

Anna I found out 14 plus years ago what that weird feeling I was feeling every time I was eating i would get this slight tingle pinch feeling on my left side of my teeth and face. So what do you do? I went and got my teeth checked. Since I just moved to the Hudson Valley in Upstate New York I had to find a dentist. This dentist told me that the pain was from the infection go over my tooth and settling in the tooth, and wanted to remove the tooth. Well I still have that tooth and the pain is gone. Last year in May I went to visit my son and his family in Florida. I was having discomfort before I left and when I arrived I was more then hurting, I was miserable. Of the seven days there I was in pain for six of them. When I arrived home i was able to see my neurologist and he prescribed another pill to add to my daily (vitamins). That is when I decided to get the surgery. My new thing of concern has to do with the the MRI contrast dye called GADOLINIUM. It seems when they inject that in you there seems a sediment deposit CAN settle in your brain and cause many reactions, which will come out in different ways. I am just trying to get tested for this. My doctor has to find a lab that can produce this test to get it done. Everyone who had a contract dye during a MRI procedure check if it was GADOLINIUM and get yourself checked out.As I tell my friends that is your $9.95 lesson for today. Anna I feel great and will address this ,if it is of a future concern, PEACE.

I do feel the electrical shock pain and also burning at the same time.
