Hi all,
I have experienced a new painful symptom in my left cheek today! (i know, every twinge and twitch lately gets my full attention!) Actually i had it a couple of days ago too, but today was worse. Very stabbing like, but only lasted seconds. I thought, "omg what's THIS now?"... but then it went away. I have no dx, but could this be a symptom of MS? Does anyone else have face pain? I've had really bad pain next to my left eye a couple of months ago too (left is my dodgy side btw). Today is a 'bad' day, sx wise, so maybe that's why it's playing up? Boy it was worth it (well, kind of) I went to my son's school ball last night, (parents ball) and it was so much fun. Although too much standing on my feet and even a bit of dancing too! But today my body is saying, "what the hell did you do to me last night?"... Today is a shuffling around the house day. Oh dear.

One of my first episodes (unrecognized as potential MS at the time) was "mild" trigeminal neuralgia. I couldn't tell if it was a dental issue, sinus, jaw, or what. I went to the dentist twice, but he found nothing. Finally my PCP diagnosed it.
I hope I never get it again. I feel your pain!

Yep, been there, done that. I don't know whether to see a MD, psychiatrist, dentist, endodontics (SP?) or who. I finally mentioned it to my dentist who had no recommendation. My family practice guy immediately knew what it was and I have been relatively pain free since starting my Tegretol. My dentist was a little embarrassed when I saw him next and told him. Good luck
