Seems like my cold is making TN worse. Has anyone else experienced this? I have a horrible headache all over and my TN (95% on right side of face) is throbbing throbbing…it’s so hard to explain the pain sometimes; it’s like an ache that doesn’t go away and throbs; kind of like how it feels when you’ve had major work done on a tooth and the novacaine wore off. Neurontin not working today. I know you all probably have worse bouts than me, but it’s hard to be seen at work and be productive. I look like c p and feel like it too. I know you guys can sympathize and I can’t share how I really feel with anyone here. sigh.
I feel your pain literally . My left cheek aches all day with pins needles . I have had this for 6 years now wth no end in sight. I do have occasional good days but not many. I also get a sensation like someone is putting pressure on my cheek
I am fed up with the pain, I am retired so don’t have to work. Don’t know if I could now. Hope summer brings a little relief Margaret
Throbbing teeth, burning cheeks, palate, lips and jaws . . . feels like a vice grip on both sides of my face. Ouch, I worked with it for a long time, though. Still trying to find the correct combo of meds which would put me back in the workforce. Hang in there, Charna!
OMG! I celebrate today when I am free of pain for a change. I feel like a different person when I have a day without the throbbing and aching and swelling. I know you all can relate when you have a 'good day'!! It's amazing how good you feel when before I had TN I took it for granted. It's crazy. More often than not I have to tell people at work it's a 'bad day' since it is so obvious. I only wish I could have more good days in a row and not have to suffer at work!! hope you all have many good days to come!
