Hello to everyone and I think I'm already glad to have ran across this site. Went to emergency room couldn't stand the burning pain anymore, gave my symptoms, doc said TN, prescribed Gabapentin, a muscle spasm med, vicodin and a steroid pack said I should get a MRI of neck (County hospital) no insurance they didno test but an EKG thought it was heart. Left arm tingly numb left side of neck and cheek but also the whole top of my head feels like it is on fire all the time with time of feeling like a cattle prod it happening whloe ring of skull crushing feeling and a head ache of a year now. They said they couldn't give the MRI unless having stroke at time, not I wait for MRI going through county they said it will be end of March to April for appointment If it's a tumor causing the pressure that time could be too late. I guess I'm just venting, you know when people family included can't see the boo-boo it's hart to comprehend the intensity. My pain is more numbness except for my neck and head whick is crushing burning pain. thanx for listening Jules
