Hi EE

Do you have the same condition?

I bite my tongue without any control, this is very very distressing. my tongue burns with pain constantly.

How do you deal with this?

What meds are you taking

Regards

Hi Zakria, I have bilateral TN and I was undiagnosed for a long time. I've had numerous tooth issues which I believe were the result of TN and I lost a lot of teeth due to ongoing pain after root canals. My tongue is not a problem and I'm not sure what condition you have been diagnosed with. I am on a combination of meds for my condition but I can't tolerate a lot of the usual meds used for nerve pain. I hope you find some answers and try some meds to see what works for you. Take care

You've really been on my heart! I saw your post in the dental forum as well.
Have you had an X-ray?
This sounds very serious! I hope you have a doctor who is on top of this!
Please have your doctor dig deeper if you aren't getting answers from him!!

nevermind! I see you DID get a catscan and are awaiting results!
Thank God !! I know this must seem like a long wait, but I was SO VERY relieved to see that they did a CT!!

Truly Caring
Rae

Thankyou Rrae.

Hi Zakira,

I am so sorry you are going through all this. I think I might have responded to you in another forum. I think you have some type of nerve injury caused by injection. This may affect your tongue. You might want to do some researd on this. I hope you feel better and please keep us posted!

hello,

six dental injections is a goodly amount in one sitting. the dentist may have hit your nerve with the needle; unfortunately, after the first injection, you would not feel this because you would be numbed by the excessive anesthetic used.

trigeminal neuropathic pain is best managed with medications. a thin slice MRI could be useful to rule out a vascular compression on the trigeminal nerve, however, your symptoms sound consistent with a traumatic nerve injury. i would suggest making an appointment with an oral surgeon who does microsurgery on the trigeminal nerves to see if there is a possibility of surgical repair. these injuries are best treated sooner rather than later.

best of luck,
