Swollen cheekbone

Hi!

The one question I would really like to ask is 'does anyone here with TN have a swollen cheek bone?' The left side of my face is badly affected and my cheekbone is clearly swollen. If I touch it I hit the roof with pain! Ive been checked for sinus infection just incase.

Thanks

Trish

Hi Patty,

Thanks for replying. That's interesting that you find it swells too. I just wondered if this was normal for TN. I'm learning a lot at the moment!

Thanks,

Trish.

My husband says he can see that my face is swollen on my right side when I have pain. I also feel like my tongue swells as well.

Hi Scared,

My tongue feels weird as if it's aching! Thanks so much for replying. It seems as if I'm not alone with a swollen cheek bone.

Hi Trish02,

I often have had a swollen cheek on my TN side when i have the flare up. It doesnt get as bad as it was in the beginning.

My therapist would drain my lymph nodes and it would go down in a little while.

Hi Scott,

Thanks for replying! That's interesting that it's your lymph nodes. I'm going to mention that when I see my Neurologist.

Hope you are well.

Hi Trish02,

I would be interested in what you nuero says also. Please keep me informed. I hope you have many pain free days ahead.
