Hello Jim,
Sorry you are in pain.I too suffer chronic pain in my face..jaw, gums, and especially my teeth. I have ATN which isnt treatable with surgeries like Gamma Knife..I take Amitriptyline which works pretty well but the last two nights I've had increased pain. I do try natural cures but none seem to work.I take vitamin D, magnesium, Vitamin B 12. I am thinking about taking tumeric/curcumin which is suppose to help with inflamation.I eat peppers which are supposed to help restrict Substance P to relieve pain. Some people use Capsaicin cream on their face or whereever they hurt..I am not much help since I still have pain. How did you get your pain? Was is just sudden onset or through dental procedures? Mine started right after a wisdom tooth extraction...I'm here to talk if you need to. I'm on another site too which is all about neuralgias, types of pain, procedures, etc. I hope you find some sort of pain relief.
Take care
Stephanie
