[QUOTE=Jo*mar;1275057]Where in the face , what kind of pain?
To get best treatment & diagnosis your drs should have asked for descriptive words like any burning, stinging, dull, sharp, throbbing, and also the areas where the pain happens..

Looking back at my first three doctor visits after getting my concussion brain injury (last two were with my PCP), I can see the LACK of … I’m not even sure what the correct word is here… lack of training or knowledge or interest or protocol or something. Maybe it’s a ‘rural area’ thing or maybe a state thing or maybe 90% of doctors just don’t know / don’t care. Things like the basic questions they should have asked, or how they didn’t even give my entire head a ‘once-over’, or how they never even asked what ALL of my symptoms were, or maybe even simply asking ‘how can I help ease your concerns’…….

In all, let’s just say if I had to do it all over again (man I hope not), I might even choose a different clinic than my regular one! And the whole ‘wait it out’ or ‘wait and see’/’just give it time’ -> I rather hear them honestly say ‘I don’t know how long it will take to recover’ than to hear that *stuff*.
