atypical mental formen trigeminal neuralgia
by barbiedollstar, Nov 05, 2009 09:09PM
I had a fall 5 years ago and hurt my L chin. I had cortisone shots for 3 years to alleviate swelling and pain. My doctor said he could not give more shots and I had surgery. I now would take my life except I have a 17 son. The pain is nonstop burning, electric shocks, numbing, like someone is cutting my lower gumline with a razor. The pain is on both sides, and numbing too. It has been getting worse and I have tried all the medications; neurontin, etc. All of this happened after surgery "to shave a bony mass". I had three courses of antibiotics for swelling and pain. I am 57 and very depressed. I cannot tolerate the pain and my blood pressure is 150/100 normally even with lysinopril. I weigh 112 and I am 5'7". I want to die. Can anyone help me? I even talked with Dr. Robert Nugent (neurologist) who said he cannot help me because he only does trigeminal neuralgia and not atypical neuralgia which affects both sides. Please help. donna
