Chronic pain

Hi all, I have lived with chronic pain for over 20 years - trigeminal neuralgia. I had balloon compression twice, which only worked short -term. I have now developed occipital neuralgia, which although painful I am able to function with it better than the TN.

I have also had “chronic pain” from my neck downwards.
