Thanks Iggyvair

I've heard mixed results for that (as with most other interventions)

Glad you have gotten relief!

I'm considering microvascular decompression. But my neurologist is hesitant to encourage me. There's no lesions in my pons and no large trigeminal loop. Surgeon says yes, neurologist says maybe unnecessary surgery. I'm waiting for a second opinion. Now I'm wondering if I should go to PA!
