So the pain physicians I spoke with today all agree that radiosurgery with a gamma knife is the best option because of the pain.

Another doc said gabapentin worked well on one of his patients, but that patient only really experienced numbness (ants crawling) and not pain.

She also experiences the numbness... triggers the drooling, but her numbness goes down into her arm and elbow as well.

I will try to keep you all updated with whatever we decide to do, in case the information is useful to someone you know.
