I Had ATN for 5 years and luckily had a really early diagnosis. After 5 years on MANY medication regimens, I stopped having breakthrough pain, decided to wean myself and after stopping meds, no longer had the daily pain. I haven't seen Neuro Doc in 2 years. Now i am having severe stabbing Tooth pain and the Department head at Research hospital told me there is NO WAY it is TN because it cannot present in a tooth. My pain started as extremely sharp, shooting from upper tooth to brain. Before when i had it, the pain was mostly in my face, eye and stabbing pains in my ear, but periodically it would bother my teeth.
So the good news it can spontaneously go in to remission, but I don't know what to do with this tooth, because the Dr. is a Maxillofacial surgeon and he told me that about the teeth. I don't know what to think. The scan and 3 separate xrays all show nothing is wrong with the tooth.
