Welcome to our group! Thanks for the note. I'm glad my profile was able to help you a bit. I got my exercises from a physical therapist because my TN is caused by a face and neck injury I sustained in a car accident. They've helped to lessen the pain quite a bit. It's not perfect, but I'll take it! I'd suggest talking to your doctor about possible causes for your pain and see if your condition could be helped by PT. Once you get a diagnosis, hopefully they can figure out if it would be beneficial to you. Keep me posted! Best wishes for a pain free day.
