Trigeminal Neuropathic Pain (TNP): facial pain resulting from unintentional injury to the trigeminal system from facial trauma, oral surgery, ear, nose and throat (ENT) surgery, root injury from posterior fossa or skull base surgery, stroke, etc. This pain is described as dull, burning, or boring and is usually constant because the injured nerve spontaneously sends impulses to the brain. The injured nerve is also hypersensitive to stimulation, so attacks of sharp pain can also be present. The area which is sensitive to touch and triggers these sharp attacks is the same area where the pain occurs. Numbness and tingling are also signs of a damaged nerve.
Sorry I’m so happy to find others that feel my pain.
The above is me all me… Anyone else have this from trauma? I broke my jaw in 3 places causing my TN.
I have a spinal cord stimulator in my head and face??? I haven’t seen that anyone else has gone down this path? I know it’s in trial phases and wondered if that’s why? I was hoping to find someone that had one.
