Why do most of the suffers of TN say it is a quick sharp pain. Mine started out that way, but quit for 6 weeks.(without meds).
After the 6 weeks it came back so bad that it felt like a branding iron on the side of my faceFace pain and foreheadForehead lift Forehead lift - series.
This pain would last for at least 1/2 hour, I finaly found that sucking on an ice cube would calm it down.
Also, a lot of the pain would come about 4:00 AM I thought TN didnt usually hit at night.
Do I have true TN or could it be something else.
Thanks.

I know that my problem sounds like TN, I thought maybe someone had a similar problem that turned out to be dental or TMJ, since mine doesn't seem exactly like TN. OH well, I was just hoping for any help I could get. The pain does start in the jaw area.
Thanks, Evie79.
Thanks, Evie79.
You could have some atypical or other form of TN.
A dentist should be able to rule out TMJ.
Best of luck.
