Trigeminal neuralgia: What helps stop the pain?
Brain & Nervous System | Last Active: Aug 21 7:08pm | Replies (127)Comment receiving replies
Hello. It’s been a longtime. I went a neurologist and he prescribed gabapentin and was taking me off the oxcarbazepine. That didn’t work. Now I’m seeing a neurosurgeon in Peoria Illinois and he is doing a procedure called a radio frequency ablation. I hope that will do something. Does anyone know how to get on social security disability? I haven’t worked in a year.

Hello @sdgoddard10, I'm hoping the radio frequency ablation provides some relief and normalcy for you. There is a discussion that has a few links that you might find helpful for getting Social Security disability for neuropathy -- Disability: https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/disability-2/.
Also, there is a discussion on radio frequency ablation that you might find helpful:
