Hi Jaquelina,

It sounds as if you're describing anesthesia dolorosa, which can occur following SGBs, tooth extractions, surgeries involving trigeminal neuralgia, etc.

I hope I'm wrong. Have you discussed this with your doc?

BTW, in another thread I reported that clonidine had no known mechanism of action against neuropathic pain and no evidence that it is efficacious, but in briefly researching AD. I found one reference that reported a pilot study ...on 17 patients with oral neuropathic (pain due to nerve damage) reported that clonidine may be effective in the management of some patients with oral neurlgia-like pain. If this is AD, it may be that clonidine could help...Vic
