Hello Teresa . Injury to my face,mouth from auto accident is how I got my t.n. and I think a neuro will be able to help find a way to lower the pain for you. find way to control it that's what they are suppose to do anyways. I want to send a welcome to Neuro Talk to you also.
I know there is lots of info in the stickies above that is very helpful as well as the post threads in here. but most of all there are the greatest people here that are understanding and supportive. I know its kinda slow in here right now with school ending for year and summer on its way but I am sure others will come along shortly and reply.
My suggestion would be to keep seeing Neuro if you do not like how things are going you have the right for second opinion or to see another neuro most insurances covers that.
I wonder what area of face beside it being the left side? not that it makes any diference but just wondering? you mention ear have they ruled out O.N.??
mmkay I will stop with the questions. speaking of which that is what you should do have a list of questions and concerns when you go to next apt.
we will be keeping you in our thoughts and prayers and sending non stop positive thoughts to you Teresa.
Let us know how you are doing and how things go for you. any questions or anything ....we are here for you.
hope you have a very Low pain weekend and a shower of positive things on the 1st.
PEACE
BMW
