In all probability, you are suffering from trigeminal neuralgia. For medical treatment of trigeminal neuralgia several types of drugs are tried either singly or in combination. These are anti-epilepsy drugs such as valproate, carbamazepine, lamotrigine, phenytoin, gabapentin, and pregabalin; muscle relaxants such as clonazepam and baclofen; tricyclic antidepressants such as carbamazepine, amitriptyline, and nortriptyline.
Hello,
From your symptoms the possibilities of trigeminal neuralgia and temporal arteritis need to be ruled out. Trigeminal neuralgia is painful swelling (inflammation) of the nerve (trigeminal nerve) that delivers feeling to the face and "surface" of the eye. Trigeminal neuralgia causes severe, short-lasting (only a few seconds) facial pain on the side of the affected nerve even by slight touch. Mostly affects elderly females. May be caused in multiple sclerosis also.
Without the medication I could not live with this pain, it does help but the pain never goes away, and I dread it when I know that I am going to have an attack, nobody seems to know exactly what is what is causing this, I have looked up Trigeminal Neuralgia and I have these symptoms along with other symptoms, can you please tell me if you think that I may have this or a combination of Trigeminal Neuralgia and Hemicrania Continua.
I live in the UK and would really appreciate your advice.
hello, i am 26 years old, female, and i am diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia, would like to know if its normal to feel pain in my ear...
has suggested a diagnosis of Trigeminal Neuralgia. I am on a wide host of medications but not getting relief. I have had MRI, CT scan, etc... What do you suppose I do next. Does this sound like a likely diagnosis?
Last night, I felt this crushing pain come and go on the left side of my face and head near my left ear, deep inside. The last time this happened it was on the right side with right ear pain.
Bob gave a great explanation to this on another post I had about ear issues.
Does TN pain switch sides or do you normally get it on the side that it attacked first? Could this be something else? What other conditions can cause face pain that radiates to your ear?
Sorry for all the questions...
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.
Hi, Thank you for your question. 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.
From reading my info could this be trigeminal neuralgia or atypical trigeminal neuralgia, acute sinusitis, tinnitus, TMJ? Other than MRI are there any other procedures and scans that can be done to get a better look at my sinuses and internal ear. Can wisdom teeth cause these symptoms? My dentist recommends I extract all 4 wisdom tooth, can these extractions cause my symptom to increase.?
Symptomatic trigeminal neuralgia is usually caused by multiple sclerosis or by tumours arising near the trigeminal nerve root.
Differential diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia:
Cluster headache - Longer-lasting pain; orbital or supraorbital; may cause patient to wake from sleep; autonomic symptoms
Dental pain (e.g.
Hi, possibly it is neuralgia, in conditions like trigeminal neuralgia similar kind of symptoms are seen. Do consult neurologist for investigations. Trigeminal neuralgia is a disorder affecting the areas of the face where the trigeminal nerve's branches are distributed, including the lips, eyes, nose, scalp, forehead, and upper and lower jaws.
Headache and tingling and pain in left side of face could be due to trigeminal neuralgia, temporal arteritis, inner ear problem or TMJ. In TMJ there is pain on clenching the teeth. In Trigeminal neuralgia the point in front of the ear is usually painful on pressing. It could also be due to cold and sinusitis. It is difficult to comment beyond this at this stage. Do discuss this with your doctor and get yourself examined
Hope this helps.
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.
If the tinnitus (whistling in the ear) is due to trigeminal neuralgia, then yes, the injection will help control it. If the tinnitus does not respond to the injection, then your doctor will need to look for other causes for the tinnitus. Take care!
The medical advice given should not be considered a substitute for medical care provided by a doctor who can examine you.
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.
Went to a different dentist and he found nothing wrong with the teeth at all. Went to my reg dr and she told me I had Trigeminal Neuralgia - cause by damage from the swelling of the ear infection. She sent me to an ENT to make sure there was no residule ear infection and then plans to start me on seizure meds.
I went to the ENT - he told me - after lots of questions and an exam - I never had an ear infection. He said it was the neuralgia from the beginning.
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.
Hi, I had stayed away from cell phones for a good few years because of ear pain and head pressing and overall weird feelings in my head. Now, very recently I re-started using the cell phone only for written messages and voice out loud. I have been getting trigeminal neuralgia pain since then. This is my first search about this.
