Forthcoming 3 level cervical fusion

[LC in UK]

Hi Mark
Yes indeed we do have Starbucks, they're all over the UK like a rash!
Found out at a quiz Friday night that they got the name from the Moby Dick movie!!
Don't think they're the best coffee makers either!
Does anybody know if Trigeminal Neuralgia can be triggered by cervical stenosis? From what I've read up on it doesn't look likely as the major nerve pathway starts in the brainstem which of course is higher up.
But by golly this is one very painful condition I've never had before. Thought I had toothache starting last week but the nerve pain has spread to the top and bottom teeth on my right side and in a weird fashion it comes and goes throughout the day gaining in intensity as time goes on.
Don't know whether to bother my gp with this on top of everything else!!
Any advice would be more than welcome.
