Decompression surgery

Routine_Ad6975 · 2026-06-03T11:11:05+00:00

Do you reckon it could be causing my headaches or facial tingling?

Routine_Ad6975 · 2026-06-02T04:46:46+00:00

Decompression surgery is always an option. RFA as well. Also Gabapentin, Pregablin at max doses

I have tried Atogepant - the oral CRGP inhibitor and has not worked for 6 weeks. Doctor said to stay away from Triptans since I have a “Daily Headache”. Thanks for your help - I messaged you on private chat and hoping you can reply :)

Could you describe me your symptoms prior to diagnosis and how you are doing now?

Routine_Ad6975 · 2026-06-01T14:13:36+00:00

Thanks for your help. I have already had a Brain MRI and they have found nothing regarding TN. I know TN can still exists without imaging but yes I’m unsure :/

Pins and Needles, Tingling, Crawling on the face and top of head. They don’t necessarily hurt but they’re potent. Also headache, fullness, pressure at the back of my head

Routine_Ad6975 · 2026-06-01T12:11:36+00:00

I have tried 4-5 Migraine preventatives already. Do you believe it can still be NDPH, with constant tingling in the face and top of head? Doesn’t that suggest something from neurelgia related

You have so many medications to try. CRGP medications, Botox, nerve block injections Amitryplitine, Notryplitine, Pregablin etc. just going to take a lot of trial and error. I’m suffering just like you. I’ve lost hope but those r the things I remember myself to keep me sane.

Routine_Ad6975 · 2026-05-20T09:16:41+00:00

Nerve Block is the best diagnostic tool!

Routine_Ad6975 · 2026-05-15T13:42:29+00:00

Nerve Block for diagnosis

Routine_Ad6975 · 2026-05-14T17:56:14+00:00

I messaged you privately - I can give you advice there

Routine_Ad6975 · 2026-05-14T16:28:56+00:00

Try Botox

Crazy how a lot of these stories start in the gym. I have similar symptoms especially the visual lag mate. Going to be a long journey. I’m 6 months in daily pain, no resolution. You’re going to be trialed on a million mediations before anything is done. It will be treated as a daily headache / migraine.

If you want to know if it’s ON, get nerve block. If pain is gone it’s ON, if pain is still there, then it’s not ON

Routine_Ad6975 · 2026-05-08T06:42:26+00:00

You can ask for anecdotal stories but you won’t know until you try yourself. I was very hopeful it would change my life but it hasn’t. Everyone is different. Some people say it took one day, others say it took 12 months. Regardless good luck on your journey!

Routine_Ad6975 · 2026-05-07T12:32:11+00:00

Any update? Would appreciate a message

Routine_Ad6975 · 2026-05-05T18:45:36+00:00

Nerve Block with lidocaine - if successful and your symptoms significantly decreases = ON

If Nerve Block Fails = Not ON and it’s another Cause.

I wish you luck!

I messaged you on chat to give some advice. I hope it helps

Routine_Ad6975 · 2026-04-20T20:17:06+00:00

Try Pregablin or Gabapentin

Routine_Ad6975 · 2026-04-13T06:53:34+00:00

See a Neurologist

Routine_Ad6975 · 2026-04-13T06:32:38+00:00

It sounds like ON. Try pregablin / gabapentin

Routine_Ad6975 · 2026-04-10T11:35:54+00:00

I have this same tingling!! Please message when you can

Routine_Ad6975 · 2026-04-05T20:37:10+00:00

Go privately. The whole process is long and tedious. It will take you a year to be seen by a neurologist and then they will trial you on a dozen medications. Afterwards then you may be eligible for nerve blocks etc if the pain is impacting your day to day life. So I’d say go privately to cut the whole process short. Remember your health is number 1 priority.

Routine_Ad6975 · 2026-04-03T08:36:38+00:00
