Root Canal Treatment
I suffer from trigeminal neuralgia (TN), a very painful disease. I’ve been very fortunate with the relief that acupuncture has provided me. In my case, acupuncture has been a success of the highest order as I am now pain free. I would urge anyone with TN to try it. My TN started in March of 2010. The first attacks would sometimes last for hours at a time, and I could do nothing to relieve the pain. The pain from my TN episodes was localized in my lower right jaw (think of a root canal conducted with an ice pick, with no Novocain, and with electric shocks thrown in for good measure). Over time, the attacks changed from a constant, overwhelming pain, to much shorter, but equally painful, attacks. The attacks were set off by the simplest acts, such as brushing my teeth, chewing, talking, kissing my wife, washing my face, turning my head, leaning over to pet the dog, or even by the lightest touch of a tissue across my lips when I blew my nose. My wife (a long-time recipient of acupuncture) had long been after me to try acupuncture as a means of controlling or at least mitigating, the effects of TN. Interestingly enough, both my neurologist and my internist were totally in favor of me seeing an acupuncturist, noting that anything that offered the possibility of pain relief was worth pursuing. So, in June I began acupuncture treatments with Lauren Wolfson, at Family Acupuncture Center in Denville. I was initially quite skeptical about acupuncture, especially at my first treatment. Lauren told me that we would be concentrating on the meridians that course through the right side of my face, and that made sense to me. The acupuncture needles, however, were placed in my lower left leg (if I remember correctly), and I remember thinking, “What? The pain is on the right side of my face, so why are the needles in my lower left leg?” But very shortly after the needles were inserted (almost painlessly, I might add), I felt an intense tingling, throbbing, internal, almost goose-bumpish feeling in my upper right face, in the area where the trigeminal ganglion sits. I was astounded. I saw Lauren at least once a week, sometimes more often. I was pain free going into mid July, then had a brief relapse for about a month. The attacks were of shorter duration, but still quite painful. Lauren then tried a different acupuncture technique and by mid-August of 2010 I was again pain free. The attacks suddenly started again in July of 2011. My acupuncture treatments at that time were devoted to a hip problem I was having, so we’d moved away from the TN treatments. Lauren immediately started them back up. After a series of sessions, I again experienced complete relief from the pain. Currently I receive maintenance treatments to insure that the pain does not return.
