Hello, my pain started suddenly March 05, since then my left eye is very sensitive to light(especially TV and computer), have deep dull pain, feels full and large, burns on and off, sometimes a cutting sensation... after a million doctors and tests, they found an artery that is touching my left trigeminal nerve.

Now I don't have the typical pain that is usually discussed, but most research I have done they say that it is usually v2 or v3, that v1 is rare, so I am not sure if the pain would follow the same patterns or what?

Since I have not been able to find out much info on v1 neuralgia, I was hoping to find out some info on here from someone who unfortunately has the same problem.

I have had this for almost 2 1/2 years and I am ready for surgery if thats what it will take, but since I dont' have the complete "typical" symptoms, I wonder if it's something else.

PS I have injured this eye 3 times, but most of the docs say it has nothing to do with it, but i don't believe it.

Thank you
Ron
