All indications is that i have TN but to be confirmed shortly. I am trying to gather as much information as i can about this condition. All the reports i have read so far only discribe the pain being in the back of the head behind the ear.My question is can the pain extend down and tnto the next and shoulders? My right ear is numb and feels likr peice of soft plastic and i have barbed wire around my neckwhich is also very numb. Interested to hear if anyone else has had the same symtoms? David
Hi David,
Have you had any X-Rays or CT's? A cervical spine X-Ray might show any vertebrae that are misaligned and a CT or MRI might reveal any nerve compression, etc. It's just an idea, but the numbness/pain areas of the neck and shoulders may be due to the cervical spine area, rather than the upper area when the TN sits?...have you seen an osteopath or anything like that?
I hope you're feeling better soon :)
