Default What are symptoms of TN?

I sustained a head injury back in November when I hit the top of my forehead very hard. I was experiencing a very deep headache, constant sinus pain, sharp pain behind eye, facial pain in cheek, ear ache, toothache, light and noise sensitivity, tinnitus and hypercusis. I also experienced fatigue and insomnia. The pain was a dull throbbing sensation. Are these typical symptoms of TN?

My symptoms have improved greatly with 60mg Cymbalta backed up with Imigran. Now I have a dull headache which worsens with too much activity, but earache, tooth ache and ear ache doesn't go away when it comes. When the headache worsens it is like a migraine with other features of facial pain, it goes away though with the combination of Cymbalta and Imigran.
