I've had trigeminal neuralgia for 15 yrs.Does any one the intense pain it causes in the face? Medication is a must to keep the electric shock like pain away. Does any one know what I experience?

Hi @tonij8281. Here is a response from Dr. Ho: "Trigeminal neuralgia is a very painful and debilitating disorder. Depending on the cause, there may be other treatment options available to you including gamma knife radiosurgery, trigeminal nerve radiofrequency ablation, rhizotomy, and neurovascular decompression."
