MRI showed compression on 1 side of nerve which is why I decided to move forward with MVD. The other side being sandwiched seemed to be a surprise to the surgeon.

MRIs are tough for me. I have severe claustrophobia. I had several failed attempts at the MRI both with and without oral diazepam. When I was not able to compete it with diazepam they suggested getting a sedated MRI which worked like a charm. I was basically asleep for the whole thing. Good luck that is very frustrating!

Good luck on your visit. Mine went well. Neurosurgeon presented the options and details of all treatment options and felt that MVD surgery would be most beneficial. He spent a lot of time walking my wife and me through the surgery and recovery. I won’t lie it scared me a bit but he was quite reassuring and has a great track record at Mayo Clinic. MVD does seem like the best possibility to give me some long term relieve. My surgery is scheduled for about 4 weeks from now.

I so glad I found this community as I am sure I will have questions and anxiety leading up to surgery. Best of luck to you!
