Unbearable Pain

I had terrible pain for about a month when I finally found out that it was TN. By that time, the symptoms had started to subside. It is hard to tell if the meds I was prescribed (Carbamazipine) were working, or if it was the fact that the TN was going into remission.

At that time, although the meds made me tired, it did seem to help with the pain.

For now, follow your doctors orders and hopefully you will get relief.

I am most frustrated by not knowing when it will come back, and how long it will last. When it does, I may opt for a surgical fix.

 

You are so lucky you have follow up help I've just had my 3rd and most painful flare up, and I got as far as GP and increased dosage of gabapentin paracetamol and ibuprofen I rattle, I was off work for 4"weeks,,I went back.because it settled down but the past few days it's been niggling again Inn petrified in case in comes back, but no one listens to me no one I've lost count the amount of appointments I've had, fed up because I have arthritis in my neck and painful shouleer and elbow it's the same side as my face they think it's all linked,I don't so they have sent me to see a rheumatologist on may 21st ages away it will.have been 13 weeks from referral to appointment x

You can go to an ER even if the pain is subsided. They will get you medication for the time.being.
