Anon - It's good to know that your condition was successfully treated. For those who are not familiar with Trigeminal neuralgia (TN), it's an excruciatingly painful disorder that afflicts the trigeminal nerve. The trigeminal nerve is also known as the fifth cranial nerve, which is one of the largest nerves in the head. Its job is to send messages concerning temperature, touch, pain and pressure from the face, forehead, gums and jaw, and from the area around the eyes, to the brain.
