hello iam just wondering if any one else has pain in the back up between shoulder blades on spine ive had this atleast 4 months now.i keep getting a noise in my head like as if the radio is on wrong channell and its driving me mad just wondering if this has any thing to do with my tn. thanks
I don't have pain in my back, however, a month before my face pain started I had the worst pinched/inflammed nerve pain in my side that went up to my armpit and down my arm(same side as face pain). It was bad enough I had an endoscopy because I was convinced it was an ulcer.
Long story short, nobody thinks it's related to the face pain though it started right before, is very similar in nature, etc. Luckily nortriptyline knocked it down to a manageable level, but it's still there and sometimes "flares up".
My theory is if the TN is caused by viral shingles or something it can damage nerves in various parts of the body and isn't necessarily detected with lab tests because maybe it cleared up but the nerve damage remains....my neuro basically said that's possible.
