I have been experiencing a very similar sensation for the last 6 weeks.

I am controlling the severity with a drug called Pregabalin (in the UK), also known as Lycra (I think).

I have an MRI the other day to see if they can pick up on anything else.

I'll keep you posted.

This is more a feeling of fullness and discomfort in my face rather than searing pain.

Wish you well
