Sorry to hear that but the only way to know where the nerve compression is, will be to get an MRI

I was told that nerve structure can change in a year to two years so i would suggest another scan. in my opinion, you should get a fresh scan done.

In case it is of any help, I suffer TN via corneal nerve damage. I had all the scans but they showed nothing. I then had an IVCM eye scan which showed corneal nerve damage from my injury.
If you have any eye problems the corneal nerve forms part of the nerve pain pathway
