I've had TN since March & PN since early Sept., & it has been relentless for about a month now. Last night I experianced a numb feeling on the right side of my face. It wasn't completely numb, just slightly. I'm just wondering would it be completly numb??
Is this a new MS thing for me?? |

I don't have TN TG, but one of my very first MS symptoms was a numb forhead and face, in 1964. Just enough to worry me but not bad enough to rush me to the Docs, so I stayed unDXed till 1976.
MS can cause temporary or permanent numbness anywhere, in your body, there is a nerve. I hope your TN pain is just a temporary thing and you find relief soon.

I had problems with numb face for a few years. I would bite my tongue and lips, and slur my words so I sounded like I was drunk. Thank God it isn't a problem anymore. Since being on Copaxone many of my symptoms have subsided or disappeared completely.

earlier this summer the right side of my face went numb. Felt exactly like my dentist had just stabbed me with a needle full of novocaine. My entire right side of my body went numb actually, but the most annoying part of it was my face.
I hate going to the dentist and getting my face numbed up for stuff. To me it's torture, so the entire summer really really sucked. I still have a bit of that numbness, so I dont think it'll ever all go away, but it's gone back and forth on the "quality" of numbness. I hope that will go away completely someday, but I dont expect it to.

I had an episode of TN some years ago.
I didn't have any numbness associated with mine, rather I had short bursts of severe pain, shooting across my face. It eventually eased and I've not had it happen again since, thank goodness! I hope I never go through that again, because it was agonising. My neuro treated it with Tegretol and Methadone.

It was a fw years ago when I developed the most excruciating pain on the right side of my face. Non stop-agonizing-unrelenting-and no pain med helped. Went weeks - thought it must be teeth - finally went to dentist who said it was not teeth infection but neuralgia pain (forget)
But, here's what worked! He fitted me with a plastic thing that sets on my front teeth - prevents grinding of teeth etc - and in 1 day the pain had decreased and within three days all pain had ceased. I wish I could explain better as he was very knowledgeable about the pain and triggers. They have full mouth pieces but the smaller front teeth one was cheaper so I choose that. However, it is also small enough that I could wiggle it off and swallow it in my sleep - so I would HIGHLY suggest for anyone to go the extra dollar amount and get the full mouth piece one. I only wear my small one during the day when I am awake. I haven't had any further problems since I got the thing. A dentist has to have this item fitted to your teeth/mouth. Sorry-its all I can remember. Hope this helps someone.
