Hello guys. I have atypical facial pain/teeth and gum pain. I'v seen my nuero once and we decided to start a medication(amitriptyline). I am now taking 50 mgs and is not helping much. It seems my condition is getting worse. I do not have the typical TN sharp shooting pains. Mine is a dull aching pain that is always there ranging from a 3 to a 7. I'm going to see her again soon.

My question is what tests should I have done? It seems an MRI is basically the only test. Is this true?

Thx guys
