Hi everyone. Two things. First I have pain at the back of my head same side as tn. It is at the base of the skull. The second is pins and needles in the base of my spine and then my toes. All on my right hand side. Can these be connected? Thanks x
You need neurologist ASAP!
I also have pain at the base of my skull. I was diagnosed with occipital neuralgia. I had a nerve block at the base of skull in July and it has helped me some. However, pain is starting to again :( Make sure to talk to your neurologist. Good luck.
I can not say if it is related or not but I do advise you to speak with your doctor on this. That does not sound fun and I’m sorry to hear this. I hope this helps even if it does not sound that much. Hope you have a great day and that it is pain free.
Thanks guys. I’ve been waiting 8 months for the neurologist!!! I’ve had an MRI which was clear. All a big jumble to me! X
Can you go to an urgent setting to have this looked at very soon? Not a good sign when things are numb!!!!
Well I don’t think so kc. My gp has bumped me up the list already. I think that I have blood vessel problems and they press on nerves. I tried a bit of self acupressure last night but its really made me ache! I’ve been off work or the summer and I’ve just got a bit obessed. X
I’m guessing not in USA?
What happens if emergency? Scares me…blood vessels are kind of important to keep their blood flow…
I had a mini stroke last weekend…age 50…in the head… A little one…will be fine … But I would have kept that vessel alive…
I had MVD in the other side of my head, and thanks to this site…I had it done soon, and 2 yrs later 5% pain only.
Keep posting!
I will do kc. Today i v woken with a head and pains in my cheek but no numbness. I’m in the UK and its different here yes. Doctors r good, v kind but not enough is understood. I’m awaiting my nerve block set for next month. My consultant has told me to desensitise the face by using patches of lodicaine and mouth spray, then avoiding as many triggers as I can. So no make u, no perfumes, no loadmusic, no work etc up t treatment. I hope it works iI’ve been struggling for 3 yes. X
Can you do MVD? I would not last a day without my lidocaine! Best meds ever!
