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.

Hi, @carmelo1morrone - that is great to hear that your electric shock feeling is gone after your microvascular decompression (MVD) and you just have some slight numbness and tingling. sounds like a huge, complex surgery. Is the residual tingling being treated, or just left alone?
@deviraj, welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. That is really unfortunate that after MVD and also cranioplasty your mother is still having dizziness and fatigue all the time. What is her doctor's plan to treat her from here?
@henricksonj - how are you feeling lately?
