Here's a new one

Anytime I feel something hurt or twitch or burn on or near my face I immediately wonder whether it's my TN acting up or something else. Well, here's one I never experienced before and I wonder if it's TN related. Out of nowhere I started feeling these pounding zaps to my right sided ear lobe and the area outside the ear right above it. I'd get a zap every 30 seconds or so for an hour or more. Then nothing for hours or even a few days, then it would start up again. The pain was so quick and intense that I would yell out. I know it was nerve pain but whether it was related to my TN, not sure. I had no other pain anywhere.

What do you think? Do any of you have weird pain that doesn't seem like TN but might be?

Yes, I get the impression that that is not uncommon here! I get harsh jolts down the side of my throat, sometimes all the way down to my chest.

You can get lidocaine cream

Have your primary just call it in for you!

After soooo many zaps we here get PTSD … For real!
