So my doctor diagnosed me with chronic rhinosinusitis and trigeminal neuralgia 18 months ago and put me on 200mg carbamazepine and mometasone nasal spray.

I am still getting terrible pressure pain in my upper nose. It starts with popping a sensation which I always get about 4am I then wake up with a pounding headache which also feels like someone is squeezing my nose and eyeball. It only ever occurs on one side of my face never both at the same time. The pain gets worse as the day goes on, I cannot stand the light and I feel extreme fatigue. Sleep and very strong painkillers are the only thing that ease the pain. I get 2 days a week when I am not in pain but for 5 days I suffer and constantly take pain relief. I don't know anyone else who suffers from anything like I do and would be interested to see if I'm not the only one with these symptoms and pain.
