Each time he had an electric shock or a knife cut, he was painful, and he missed two teeth. Recently, in the Department of Pain in Wuhan Fourth Hospital, the doctor placed a "pear" in his intracranial intracranial, cleverly eliminating his trouble.

"The left half face is like a knife cut, and the wind hurts all the time." Mr. Zhang recalled that he had a trigeminal nerve pain for the first time 10 years ago. Life. At first, he mistakenly thought it was toothache, so he went to the dental department to pull out two teeth. However, the pain was not eased later, and the pain often occurred.
