pain after Gamma Knife
by nancy99n, Jun 27, 2009 10:07PM
I had a Gamma Knife April 22nd for Trigeminal Neuralgia. I've weaned off Trileptal as of June 19th. No longer on medication. This past week I started having pain when chewing and random jolts of mild pain. Tonight I'm having electric shocks in my lower left jaw. My pain doctor told me it might take 4-6 months to find out if the Gamma Knife worked, but I got off the drugs in 2 months. I had a brief period of no pain at all. Should I wait the entire 6 months (August) before I become concerned about the re-occurrance of pain? Or should I slowly start back on the Trileptal? The pain is mild (1 on a scale of 1-10). I don't want to give into this, but I'm worried that something's wrong. Could a cavity cause electric shock type pain?
