Default New to GN and GPN, nedd some input

Hello All,
I am coming here with a likely suspicion of GN and GPN. Hopefully someone here can help to confirm if they have simular symptoms.

I do not have the traditional 'shock-like' pain, I have a constant burning in my ear, sore throat and tongue that fluctuates from an always present dull ache to searing debilitating 'electric fire' pain that lasts for hours even the entire day.

Additionally, I seem to have some TN symptoms of a tingling painful burning front of the mouth (teeth mostly) and jaw.
The facial pain seems to pulsate somewhat like a low 'spasm' of pain.
These symptoms aren't related to GN or GPN are they?

My 4th MRI included an AICA loop suprolivary fossette, presumably impinging on the root entry zone of the glossophararngeal nerve'


Has anyone undergone a diagnostic nerve block prior to MVD?
If so, by who? The MVD surgeon, or a pain Mgt specialist
I am having a difficult time being able to obtain a provider for what I believe is a critical step in the diagnostic process.
