I have atypical face pain that is primarily on the lower left side of my face. I was treated with Gabapentin and then changed to Lyrica. I also take Cymbalta and until my SCS was implanted I also took Topamax. I was given various blocks and also had a radiofrequency ablation to two nerves in my face during the two years of pain prior to my implant.
I had my spinal cord stimulator implanted in June. My doctor felt that he could get coverage through my spine to the lower part of my face. He was right!! I have reduced my medications to night time only.
Are you seeing a pain management doctor? They seem the best to help manage this pain. Let me know how I can help?
