recovering from surgery

Hi all, I am new on here and in need of some information. 5 weeks ago I went into hospital to have microvascular decompression on the trigeminal nerve. When they opened the skull, they found that there was no blood vessel impinging the nerve. What had happened was the nerve and the arachnoid layer of my brain were stuck together. Has anybody had a similar thing or know anything about this procedure. I can't find anything on the net about it. Help would be appreciated. Thank you

Hi, and no sorry, i do not. I have never had surgery. I've come (dangerously) close, but never actually had surgery. Sorry, can't help you there, pal. Hope things end up alright though.
