trigeminal neuralgia botox injections

I developed Trigeminal Neuralgia 3 weeks after my first botox treatmemt (forehead, crowsfeet and frown lines) and 5 days after juvederm put into nasolabial folds, chin and lower cheek. Is it possible these treatments could have caused the TN? I have it on both sides and it is an aching pain. Started in one jaw then moved to all teeth, then a few weeks later into sinuses, and head bones, and now pain is in eye area and my entire face and head.

Does anyone know an Acupuncturist who specializes on the relief of pain from Trigeminal Neuralgia in the UK/ France/Germany?Brussels? Any feedback on this appreciated.

You should see a neurologist about Trigeminal Neuralgia. Your symptoms resemble this. It is often sharp, knife like stabbing sensations in the face and surrounding areas.

I'm sorry that I don't know about your paralysis and eyes shutting. Assume that you have seen doctors about those symptoms? Have you gotten an MRI or MRA to check to see if you've had a stroke? Why haven't you tried Botox injections for your daily migraines which are meant to help people like us? I have gotten tremendous help from my botox injections. It wasn't a treatment 25 years ago. Is the Gabapentin helping your Trigeminal Neuralgia which I have also.

I just googled treating trigeminal neuralgia with botox and came up with a ton of information - try that to find out more.

I suffer from constant pain - pain specialists here have tried injections - burning the nerve, botox and every possible drug - Lyrica, indomethacin, neurontin, dilantin, elavil - opiates make it worse (trileptal was the only one that helped but lowered my sodium to 118 within 48 hours at just 300 mgs a day) 3 neurologists have suggested just living life out on klonopin but i refuse (high gaba covers the pain - ironic - depakote and tomomax make it worse.

I found a Neurologist that finally is well educated on Occipital Nerves. I am getting Botox injections all over my scalp. After nearly 2 years chasing false hope for help on this awful disorder. Steroid injections are useless, only cause pain and flare ups. Occipital Neuralgia needs much more awareness and information online for people like myself. Why? Because it's embarrassing symptoms make you feel insane! Yes, it causes hair to tangle, strands to twist and knot by themselves.

I had SEVERE migraines which have been greatly helped by nerve block injections, Botox injections, transdermal gel, lidocaine nasally, prophylactic medications taken every day to prevent the headaches. Plus there are many other treatments. But if he keeps taking pain pills, he will have rebound headaches forever. So find a better doctor! Good luck. Let me know.

The 7th nerve is in the face - if that is effected, one usually gets trigeminal neuralgia. I think so they are looking at the nerves for that reason. However, since you have the severe facial pain (which is usually trigeminal neuralgia) you may need to get another look at what is going on - maybe an EMG or something to see if the nerves are ok because if you have pain and the eye is impacted etc. sounds like the nerve is impacted. So the cyst may be pressing somewhere.

Hi: I just found this group and read your post. Have your read the book Strike Back, it deals with all sorts of facial pain and their treatments, put out by the Trigeminal\Neuralgia Org. I believe, but if youre interested, I'd check that out to be sure. I have no idea what to suggest for you. I've dealt with daily facial/jaw pain for 11 years now, every day, it rages.

Dear, Trigeminal neuralgia is a neuropathic disorder of the trigeminal nerve that causes episodes of intense pain in the eyes, lips, There are some things that you can do to minimize the frequency and intensity of TN attacks: Apply ice packs or any readily available source of cold to the area of pain. Cold often numbs the area and will reduce the pain.[citation needed] Get adequate rest in normal rest cycles. Manage your stress well and keep stress levels low.

It sounds like trigeminal neuralgia. Is that what they are calling it? That is just awful. Do a search on here for trigeminal neuralgia. Maybe somebody has written about how they got the nerve to calm down. Hope so.

Has your mother seen a Neurologist for evaluation? I had Trigeminal Neuralgia after shingles on my face, and the pain is worse than anything I've ever felt before. She definately needs to be checked out.

My husband has been diagnosed with supraorbital neuralgia. Injections are helping, but the doctor is talking about surgery. Does anyone have any experience?

They are done together to break the pain cycle caused by Occipital Neuralgia (Cevical 2 Neuralgia). This pain syndrome is very similar to Trigeminal Neuralgia (Cranial Nerve 5 Neuralgia.

Hi, thanks for answering. But, I read about botox injections and something else ....with medications that I am avoiding. For the moment, I take neurontin, and lamotrigine. And I was on morphine patches which I decided to stop. The doctor prescibed Trazadone which will help me sleep But, it is unfriendly to tardive dyskinesia;so, I plan to stop it as well......I appreciate your answering. It is hell.... At times, I feel so low that hope to die. Oh, I forgot: I am taking vit.

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.

I woke up with Trigeminal Neuralgia last Thursday morning. I knew that was what it was, because I had it once seven years ago. This time it's SO much worse! I told myself I'd "tough it out" for the weekend, even though I did put in a call to my neurologist. By Sunday, it was so bad, I was in tears! I told my DH "just take me out back and shoot me like an old horse!" I was kidding, but kinda serious, too!

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.
