I have a tentative diagnosis of trigeminal neuralgia, where my cold nerves have started reporting pain instead of cold, but there's no way to know if it was caused by the initial trauma or one of the procedures to fix it (two cavity filling sandings, one cavity replacement, two root canals, wisdom teeth removal, apicalectomy)
.
Some time between the second root canal and the wisdom teeth/apicalectomy, I began to get an occasional weird feeling in my nose. The best description I have is that it felt like a mild version of being punched in the nose. In the past 10 months it's ranged in frequency from several times a day to no occurrences for several weeks. I was wondering if anyone else had a similar feeling in conjunction with trigeminal neuralgia.
Thanks,

Welcome Elizabeth, and I regret to hear you're in such pain.
I suffer from Trigeminal Neuralgia myself, however I am also diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis, and TMJ (jaw disorder), so from the neck up I'm a virtual mess!
Although your's is also dental related, I'd ask about your pains on the Trigeminal Neuralgia forums on NeuroTalk. I'm quite a newbie, but there are some very knowledgeable folks over there to connect with.
