don't know if anyone here has discussed this with their doc, but folks with face pain and rsd need to be aware of the possibility of trigeminal neuralgia.....the trigeminal nerve is the major nerve for your face......the good news is that TN is treatable.....i'm not sure how to differentiate between tn and facial rsd, but i know that if i start with face pain, the neuro will need to come up with that answer for me.....i won't let him shrug it off as rsd spread is there's any chance it oculd be treated.

please, all of u, talk to the doc about the idea of TN and more importantly, the idea of treating it!
