Hi,

My name is Jan.

I've had continual facial pain on the left side of my face ever since the endodondist hit the nerve when he was numbing me for a root canal.

This was Halloween 2007. And I love getting dressed for Halloween.

Also, I have constant burning in the lower jaw and feel as though I still need a root canal. After the tooth was extracted -- it had cracked -- my jaw broke and I have pain in the nerve there but it doesn't bother me that much.

I am on what I feel are too many meds and they are not working.

I'm on effexor, tramadol, and neurotin.

I'm going to be discussing tegretol and also injections. I just want some relief.

Thank you for your input and any suggestions.

I feel less alone now.
