Hi I am not new to the pain ( over 6 years) but I am newly diagnosed

For 6 years dentists told me it was dental pain and then tried their best to empty my wallet.

Finally I ended up at a very nice neurosurgeons office who referred me on to a very nice Neurologist and diagnosed with TN.

I am on Gabapentim and have Endep for bad nights

I am so relieved to finally have a specialist who knows it is not dental or sinus related

I'm new to all of this too - day 32 for me. Mine also started with dental work. The neurologist diagnosed "atypical facial pain" but after doing much research on the Internet I think I have atypical odontalgia. My pain is mostly in my teeth and is constant. The doctor put me on amitriptyline and I've got some prefixed fir break through (but it doesn't really do much). Narcotics don't seem to do much for this type of pain. I wish you the best in controlling your pain. I still haven't obtained control of mine.

That is supposed to say percocet for break through pain. That's what I get for sending the message from my iPod. It spells great, just not the words I want it to spell....
