Talk:Trigeminal nerve

Hey all of you that are in the same mess that I'm in. HELL, right here on earth. Ane I'm a strong christian Grandma. My name is Brenda A. Fox, age 50, and on Jan. 17, 2006 my life was taken from me by a dentist. He pulled a tooth,and either in applying the numbing shot or pulling my tooth, I'm sure it is the first, he took my life as I knew it. My right eye stayed open for 8 hours after he pulled it, and the pain after the numbing wore of was horrible. I thought I was gonna lose it. And of course, my tooth was pulled on a sat. and Monday was a holiday, so I finally got into to see the dentist and he said there was no was I could have a dry socket, well, then buddy, you screwed up something in my face. Long story short, I was in isolation in my bedroom for 8 months, for noise of any sort took me to my knees. They had to even pad the toilet paper rolls. Thank God my kids didn't life at home and were grown-up. And my mate worked out of town and was only home on weekends. He got a cold, I had to go live at my mom's home for 1 month until he quit coughing, for she stays the winter in Florida. Finally, on July 6, 2006, we got the call of my surgery fo Dr. McGregor, Columbus Ohio State University Hospital. He was doing a Rhizotomy(PGR). It helped get the noise problem under control, praise the Lord, but my jaw-cheek area still until this day plus my jaw area, lower lip and inside that area feel like a baseball bat had it's was with me. I've had 2 Rhizotomy since October of 2005, and Brain Surgery on Feb. 27,2006, wher they did fing a cluster of blood vessels wrapped around the Trigeminal nerve. But, truthfully, I'm in more pain than I was before all of the last 3 surgeries. The only thing I can say that is great is that the sound is better. But inless I stay in bed and don't talk, This Demon inside of me just won't let go. But, god has left me here for a reason, hopefully, it's to get the word out about this horrible demen noone can see or feel but the patient. If any Dr. reads this and thinks he can help me: my number is: [REMOVED]. I live in Ohio.

Do not appeal to complete strangers with such questions. You will be misled by unscrupulous snake oil salesmen. Dr McGregor will hopefully be able to explain what options there are left now. I reckon you are already on gabapentin or a similar drug for pain control. JFW | T@lk 20:28, 3 May 2006 (UTC)

This article is more about nerves in general than the trigeminal nerve. Most of the information can be merged with Nerve. I don't have the authority or time to do it, though. Maybe someone else does.
