I'm looking for anyone with a similar story because everyone around me seems to be giving me different reasons for the pain Im feeling. hope you guys don't mind reading my story.

In late February, I visited the dentist to have a cavity filled and a filling replaced. Everything seemed to have gone okay, I had the typical sore mouth and tooth for a week or two. Also I was already sure that this tooth might need a root canal, so I was expecting more than the usual pain to develop. However, as time progressed the pain I began to encounter turned abnormal. I had pressure headaches on both my temples combined with sharp pains in my eye, then came a few migraines, then I felt like I had a stomach virus, always nauseous.

Everyone including myself thought this might just be some sort of infection but I had no swelling the pain that started to develop around my jaw was never centered around the tooth which was only sensitive to heat and cold but thats it. Now about 2 weeks ago the pain just stuck to the left side of my face. I started to get pain from my ear to my temple, across my cheek and down my jaw line close to my mouth. Muscle spasms in my left eye and cheek, however the pressure I feel on my temple is the worst pain Ive ever dealt with. Its beyond a pressure headache its as if the blood vessel is swollen and about to burst and it just gets heavier and sharper. It completely immobilizes me from doing anything, I get very nauseous and I start to sweat. I haven't been capable of sleeping many hours because its worse at night. The cheek pain can be just as severe but I can pretend to manage it ha. Although together the pain is unbearable. Its triggered by talking, eating, brushing my teeth.........and so on. The pain is in and out all day and without pain meds there is a dull pain inbetween the stronger episodes.

Two days ago I went back to the dentist, they xrayed my mouth and he tried to convince me that I had a sinus infection and that there was nothing wrong with my tooth. I didn't believe him about the sinus infection because Ive had one in the past and this felt like my nerves in my face came alive not congestion. So the next day I couldn't take the pain any longer, I had been taking the lortab that was prescribed back in February but the pain had surpassed it a week ago. I needed to make sure there wasn't anything more severe but the hospital did not see anything out of the ordinary on the CT scan nor did they think I had sinus infection. They gave me a referral to see a neurologist. I'm thoroughly conviced that I have TN, not even percocet can contain the pain. Ive been taking amoxicillin since my first visit just in case I have an infection but obviously nothing is getting better. I'm just worried that this pain is never going to go away.
