Question Title: More info re: right temple painForum: Neurology Forum
| ||||
I posted a message on 7/8/98 regarding the possible trigeminal neuralgia which affects my right temple. Thank you for answering my post. I have been working with a chiropractor, who said I probably have TMJ, Fibromyalgia and/or Myofascial pain syndrome and seemed to dismiss the TN and MS possibilities. I was referred to a TMJ specialist, who found muscle involvement in my head, face,etc, but no joint disorder at all. I am now taking Serzone: 600 mg; Claritin-D in the am; Ambien to help me sleep and Naprolen for my headache. I am certainly under a tremendous amount of stress and am told that there is nothing wrong with me, it's just stress! I am being referred next to a massage therapist. Would it be a waste of time and money to see a neurologist or a rheumatologist? Thanks for any more directions you can point me in!!! Thanks for the question Lynn. I'm sorry but I could not locate your previous post. You ned to decide based on how you are feeling what is best for you. Remember that the chiropractor is not a physician and hence does not have expertice in these areas to dismiss them. If you have concerns (and it sounds like you do) then a further evaluation may be warrented. If you wish to see a neurologist at CCF call 216 444 5559. Good luck.
