Have you ever heard of trigeminal neuralgia, or tic douloureux? It is a chronic pain disorder that affects the trigeminal nerve in the face. It can be triggered after facial surgery.

Take a look at the information available from Mayo, Harvard, and Stanford.

One of our close friends suffered from this dreadful pain, and I had just seen a video on the treatment of this condition by a doctor in Texas, so I informed my friend. He saw a good surgeon who operated on him (separating the nerve from blood vessels) and has not had the pain again.

Do not give up! Stay strong.

Thanks for that info! I had Moh’s surgery on my temple in Dec last year. So…..it’s got me wondering. I have also had a taste/smell disorder afterwards. That was thought to be from covid. Hmmmm….how do I check?
