About 5 years ago I had a filling done on lower right 6. Ever since i have had constant pain in the gum under the front side of the tooth. This was where an injection was done - the injection did seem to me to be pressing hard against the bone when it was done. The pain is only at this location and is constant in intensity - I would say a medium pain level.

I had the tooth extracted recently yet the gum pain remained. My dentist referred me to a hospital oral maxillofacial consultant. He diagnosed neuropathic pain and said there's nothing he could do but said try Amitryptaline. I tried Amitryptaline but it completely zonked me out even on a low dose so i have given on them. Now I am just trying Benfotiamine and R-Lipoic Acid which some people say has helped their neuropathic pain.

Any help would be appreciated.
