Hi, My mother had been suffering from Trigeminal neuralgia for 15 years. She undergone Microvascular decompression(MVD) surgery after doctors suggestion 2.5 years back. But she is having severe dizziness all the time. She undergone cranioplasty after that. Though she recovered from the facial pain she is still having dizziness and fatigue all the time. Please reply if someone faces same symptoms post operation.

I feel guilty in responding that except for some slight numbness or tingling I feel pretty good and that electric shock is gone. I had the MVD in Oct 2017 and according to my surgeon My nerve was moved to the front of my face and it took him over 5+hours to fix it. I can only suggest to find a surgeon that has a good track record and was trailed well. This surgery is not that old and there are surgeon that won't even touch it. I felt comfortable with my and still checked him out. He was not the first I checked out, so beware.
