I was recently diagnosed by two Neurologists in Philadelphia (one at Penn and one at Jeffereson) that I have Trigememinal Neuralgia. I'm not completely convinced that I have it as my symptoms seem different than what I read. My symptoms are a dull ache for most of the day with occasional bouts of searing pain above teeth 4 and 5 which are both root canalled and one even had an apicoe surgery. My teeth (4, 5 and 2) are all very sensitive to pressure. If I press on them with my thumb they hurt. Tooth number 2 is very sensitive to cold and so my endodontist said I may need a root canal but since I had already had tooth 4 and 5 root canalled he though maybe I should see a Neurologist to see if it is TN. Has anyone had a similar situation? I am now on Tegretol but it bothers me that I may be on this medicine for no reason if I really don't have TN.
