Avatar f tn Did you ever get a reply? Sounds like Trigeminal Neuralgia Type 1 or Atypical. There is help for this! Same needs used for seizures help condition and pain attacks. Tegretol is one but many more. Thank you Neurologist treats TN. Studies happening now.
Avatar f tn Trigeminal neuralgia is nearly always unilateral. In rare cases of bilateral trigeminal neuralgia, individual attacks are usually unilateral, with distinct episodes involving each side of the face at separate times. A change in the location, severity, or quality of the pain should be an alert to the possibility of an alternative diagnosis. Symptomatic trigeminal neuralgia is usually caused by multiple sclerosis or by tumours arising near the trigeminal nerve root.
Avatar f tn It generally appears as compression of cranial nerves of the brain-stem and can cause trigeminal neuralgia symptoms due to compression. It needs a thorough evaluation with the help of a neurologist here. Hope this helps.

Avatar f tn I haven't found the beginning of the sx list for MS. Is trigeminal neuralgia on there? It should be. Also, how can we connect all of our MS sites and forums so it's easier to navigate among them? I'm on so many that I lose track. Feel good.
Avatar f tn Hello unnerved, Trigeminal nerve which is responsible for sensations of the face. The cause trigeminal neuralgia is probably a blood vessel pressing on the trigeminal nerve. Tumors and multiple sclerosis can also cause it, but in some cases the cause is unknown. The pain is sudden, severe, electric shock-like, stabbing that is typically felt on one side of the jaw or cheek.
Avatar n tn Hi, The common causes of shooting pains on right side of head are trigeminal neuralgia, temporal arteritis, tension headaches etc.In trigeminal neuralgia there are successive bouts of face pain. This pain occurs when a blood vessel compresses the trigeminal nerve as it leaves the brain stem. Temporal arteritis is caused due to inflammation of medium and large sized arteries bringing blood to the head.
338416 tn?1420045702 It allows you to type in your own symptoms or to choose from a list. The list seems to be generated form the members symptoms as they are added. It acts kinda like Google, where you type in a few letters and suggestions are made in a drop down list or you can continue to type your own. Maybe Medhelp could do something like this?
Avatar m tn With MS, the most common jaw-area complaint is trigeminal neuralgia, though this is characterised by pain rather than a chattering as it involves the trigeminal nerve. I did feel my teeth chattering yesterday, but that's because it hit below zero here!
Avatar n tn Facial pain can be caused by a variety of reasons. A good method to help your doctor diagnose what's wrong is to keep a pain journal. List when the pain happens, how long it lasts, how would you describe it, what parts of the face are affected, does anything seem to trigger the pain, have you had any recent injuries. Have you seen a doctor about the pain? Have you had any diagnostic tests? If so, what type and what were the results?
Avatar f tn Hi all, small question for you, i had no symptoms for 5 months, which was wonderful, and then i got this urinary infection , and the next thing i knew i had severe face pain, particularly in my nose, where it feels lie i have been bashed in the face with a pan, i have buzzing in my ears, and just a general tightness in my neck and shoulders, i got my eyebrows tattooed also, could this have caused trigeminal neuralgia ? or would it have been the infection, ?
2047903 tn?1330187549 My neuro ordered the typical blood tests for the disorders that mimic MS: lupus, Lyme's, B12, sarcoidosis etc. All have come back negative. So I guess the UBOs in my periventricular and deep white matter, subcortical, as well as the brainstem and cerebellum are a mystery. Today is the day I " up" my dose of Trileptal to get relief from this trigeminal neuralgia. Looks like a groggy weekend is ahead!I just wish I had some closure on what is going on right now.
Avatar m tn Trigeminal neuralgia symptoms can be scary, causing anxiety, rising your heart rate. Follow up with your doctor for what you describe to make sure that there are not other conditions involved, I agree that your described conditions do not seem commonly related to the diagnosis alone.
Avatar f tn I have been going to the doctor for several years for sinusitis, then I began to have facial pain. After several different doctors, I was told that I had trigeminal neuralgia as well as a deviated septum. I eventually had laser surgery for the trigeminal neuralgia, but the a facial pain continues. The nerve pain has subsided, but I continue to have facial pain on my left side. The pain seems to get worse if I lean my head to that side.
Avatar f tn Hello. For a few months my trigeminal nerve has been irritated. It's the first and second branch. I experience the electrical shock (more like a tickle) that I've experienced with Trigeminal Neuralgia but there's no pain. It seems to happen often when my head is tilted forward/down and that makes me wonder if it could be an issue with my cervical spine. I really don't have any unusual discomfort in my neck. I don't have headaches or sinus pressure or anything.
1475492 tn?1332884167 An interesting aspect is that this form affects both men and women equally and can occur at any age, unlike typical trigeminal neuralgia, which is seen most commonly in women. Though TN and ATN most often present in the fifth decade, cases have been documented as early as infancy. http://en.wikipedia.

Avatar n tn Just the other day I saw a neurologist and got Tegretol which is supposed to help the pain cuased by Trigeminal neuralgia which I have same symptoms for. BUT taking for 2 days 100mg per day didn't do anything. and yesterday I even felt some mild but still dull toothache one the other side of my face. My symptoms are generally get worst as the day goes by. and I have this constant tender point on end of my jaw line since the very beginning of the extraction.
Avatar f tn Brain lesions can cause symptoms in various locations in your body, but are more likely to be the cause of trigeminal neuralgia, cognitive impairment, optic neuritis, vertigo, dysphagia, etc.
Avatar m tn Traumatic trigeminal neuropathy is generally not associated with trigeminal neuralgia. However, both entities may be responsive to pharmacologic intervention. Seeing a neurologist or orofacial pain specialist misadvised.
Avatar f tn I believe I have some trigeminal neuralgia also. At least my chiro says I do and with as bad as my TMJ is I wouldn't doubt it. I also have a really bad neck so I wonder how many symptoms are from those two alone... It's hard to be in limboland isn't it? I don't even know what kind of Dr. to see next.
Avatar m tn I went to see my PCP and he thinks it is Trigeminal Neuralgia and wants to do an MRI. Are my symptoms consistant with TN? Does TN start with low grade pain and numbness and then increase in pain over time? How long does it take for the pain to intensify? The numbness is constant and low grade pain is triggered by lifting my left eybrow? Please help me understand the progression of this condition. Thanks!
