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 Hi, This may be Trigeminal neuralgia as you have typical one sided facial pain extending to temple and eye( ophthalmic branch of trigeminal nerve may be involved) and sore gums of the teeth of same side (maxillary branch of 5th nerve). Trigeminal neuralgia may have a triggering factor like recent history of tooth extraction, touch, cold breeze or hot sensation etc. which you need to evaluate and avoid.

Trigeminal neuralgia may have a triggering factor like recent history of tooth extraction, touch, cold breeze or hot sensation etc. which you need to evaluate and avoid. Therefore, they are hardly interlinked.
Avatar f tn t imagine tattooing eyebrows could cause trigeminal neuralgia but I imagine it could set of peripheral neuralgias. Any surgery or invasive procedure can nick a nerve. The trigeminal nerve lies across your face, and you would generally have pain in other areas than your nose. The pain also doesn't present as you described here. Does your nose hurt when you sleep? Hint. When you see the neuro, don't use the term trigeminal neuralgia.
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 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.

Avatar m tn I would get checked out for a sinus infection and make sure your sinus cavities are all healthy and intact, no deviated septums or any other problems with an ENT. Also, it does have some symptoms of Trigeminal Neuralgia. Please go to the TN forum here and read some more about this condition. Other than the mucus part, it sounds unfortunately familiar.

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 The best way to put to rest the issue of whether trigeminal neuralgia, or any of a number of sites of nerve compression, is playing a role in your facial pain is to consult with a good neurologist. Many neurologists work with pain clinics and the neurologist may be able to suggest other approaches to chronic pain, even when the cause is not readily apparent. Good luck.
1475492 tn?1332884167 Hiya all! It's been awhile. How are y'all? I hope the holidays are treating you well. I have been taking some time to go through my latest rounds of tests and seeing new specialists my MSologist referred me for. I had an SSEP that was normal. I am thankful for that. The Neuro-Ophthalmalogist ran many tests and indicated that some of my vision issues are refractive but there is also indication of other things going on there.
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 f tn It could be, but would be atypical and not very likely. The first branch of the trigeminal nerve innervates the forehead and surface of the eye. The second branch cover the upper teeth, the upper lip, part of the nose and part of the cheek. The third branch is the lower jaw, lower teeth and part of the tongue. There is a type of headache called a "Cluster headache" that is typically described as being "behind the eye.
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 (My presenting symptom, however, was trigeminal neurgalgia and it seems I continue to have some sort of trigeminal neuropathy as part of what ever this is).
Avatar m tn Would someone who has Trigeminal Neuralgia please help me out with the progression of this condition. For about a week now - I have numbness above my left eye that seems to have gotten worse everyday - first my eyebrow, then my forehead and now my skull. I have a low grade headache at times and when I lift my eyebrow, pain shoots up my forehead and skull, although not intense pain. I went to see my PCP and he thinks it is Trigeminal Neuralgia and wants to do an MRI.
Avatar m tn I used to drink very heavy 15 years ago but then stopped for a long time and then started doing it sensibly. I then stopped 3 years ago to look after my mum who became ill. I was doing fine until last year when I started getting shooting pains up and down the left side of my head which has now gone inside. I also have nystagmus and tachardiya. My neurologist says I have trigeminal neuralgia but the symptoms don't seem to be improving despite being on Tegretol and Gabapentin.

Avatar n tn I have trigeminal & geniculate neuralgia & had microvascular decompression surgery 10/09 w/ a neurosurgeon & ENT MD. My surgery was abnormal, they were unable to decompress the 7th nerve due to massive amounts of extra &abnormal blood vessels wrapped around it. The 5th nerve wss decompressed &it controlled/allievated my trigeminal symptoms for 6 mo. I recommend finding an experienced surgeon & get MVD, this diagnosis is so painful even only 6 mo of remission was worth it.
