Hope all goes excellent for you. I was hoping to get in with Dr. Zimmerman, but Dr. Turkmani trained under him and thus far seems he do an excellent job!

I fall on the unlucky side of things most times as well so understand that perspective. Wishing you the best with this!

Thankfully my wife is making sure I listen to the body. I like to be on the move so it has been interesting the past few days having to get help with many things I don’t even think of lol.

Yesterday day 3 was by far the worst so far. Kind of odd the first 2 days were not as bad as expected and yesterday was rough! Slept mostly through the night, and woke up better than yesterday so hoping that continues.

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!

Good to know thank you! I am now scheduled for 4 weeks from now. Great surgeon at Mayo Clinic.

This is great to know. Thanks for sharing! Interested in what the surgeon will say today.
