Hello, 

I am 22 years old. For the past 2 years I have been suffering from intermittent aching right jaw pain. It wasn't bad at first. It has slowly gotten worse and occurred more often. It is a gnawing, aching type of pain only on the right side. Sometimes I feel it more in my jaw area and sometimes more in my back teeth. I have been assured by dentists that it is not a dental issue. More recently in the last few months, I have also started experiencing head pain/pressure/stiffness on my right side behind my ear and on my right upper head/neck area.  In addition, I've been having a slight tickling feeling actually coming on behind my right nostril and on the surface of the right side of my cheek. This tickling feeling only lasts for a few seconds when it happens. I'm wondering if anyone else has experienced similar symptoms and what you did to improve the symptoms. Any help is appreciated!

    I started with lower jaw pain, diagnosed with trigiminal neuralgia. No pain medication would help until I was given Gabapentin for nerve pain. Pain became unbearable had MVD.  Went to see neurologist and had MRI to aid in diagnosis. Good Luck keep researching
