CrazyH it was for trigeminal neuralgia. It's a really painful condition which affect the nerves in the face, controlled with medication atm thankfully. It's possible that a blood vessel presses on the nerve which causes the pain. That's what the MRI was looking for. If that's the case there's a procedure I could have which would correct it.

Good to hear grannyrebel

Initially, it is a scary thought but as you discovered, nothing to fear.

Well done grannyrebel I’ve had quite a few over the years and I think maybe its the fear of the unknown. Glad it’s all over for you and that the results come back fine. smile

Grannyrebel, my memory isn't as good as it was - what was the MRI for ? And I'm glad you found it alright.

Congratulations! Things are often not as bad as you might imagine.

Had it yesterday and it was absolutely fine. Nothing scary at all - don't know what I was worried about!
