Nerve Regeneration following MOHS
Re: my best friend's recovery.
It's now over 3 months since the MOHS surgery on his face. It's going well, with one exception: shooting pain (we call them "zingers"😉 that have been keeping him awake most nights lately. We realize it's nerve regeneration (which is a good thing) but looking for suggestions on how to calm it down so he can get some sleep. Any help is appreciated.
When the zingers happen, I’m guessing he has trouble falling back asleep? Is the pain long lasting? Or a sharp
Zap then dull ache?If it stays, tell dr. Could be nerve damage.
If odd tingly - might be RSD - as the fibers are rebuilding.
Seems like the key is fully back asleep? I use guided meditations through ear buds.
You google it - download for free usually. Takes my mind off pain and everything else and gets me back to sleep. I love ones about finding peace or vitality - with waterfalls.
Good luck. This is my third go-round. I wish you success in whatever form it presents itself you.

: Did you ever receive any useful suggestions for dealing with the "zinger" nerve pain post-MOHS surgery? I'm asking for a relative who is about one-month post-surgical, gets a really serious jolt of pain whenever she moves the affected area.
