Hi Karensue,
Just because your pain does not present as TN - flashes of stabbing, electric shocks lasting seconds to minutes - does not mean that your problem is not with your Trigeminal Nerve caused by something atypical that your Neuro will be able to identify. I just don't want you to expect a TN dx.
With my TN, which is classic, I also have chronic, atypical Neuropathic Facial Pain/Paresthesia which the Neuros put down to the arterial knot around the nerve, but cannot understand why I have it permanently.
Facial pain is miserable, exhaust all avenues at your disposal.
Dave.
