I suffer from TN. I had stereostatic radiation. 10 weeks after the procedure I woke with complete numbness to the left side of my face and part of my head. Over the next two weeks I experienced a stroke like episode as well as increase in pain. So I had severe numbness and severe pain. Nine months later I had pulse radio frequency to the nerve but unfortunately developed a hematoma. Consequently I developed more pain . Thank you doctor Jonker you are the only specialist who has explained the reason for the increase in pain. Would I be wise to get your opinion and could this be something other than trigeminal nerve and what would that be?
Hi Trish. BY now I imagine you have talked with Dr Ben Jonker further and he has been able to advise you. Best wishes.
