right side facial pain

Since 12/16/06 I have been diagnoised w/ miagraines, cluster miagraines, TMJ, trigeminal neurelgia and post herpatic neurelgia. I have been on high doses of steriods, topamax, relpax, veralan PM, amitripytline, neurontin, toprol XL, nortriptyline, colchicine, acyclovir, imitrix sc injections, injections into site through pain center and have used an alpha stim 100 unit-all of this to no avail. The pain is still in the right side of my face-stabbing pain behind the eyeball and right inner ear and shooting pain to top and bottom molars. In the last 2 weeks the pain still remains generally in these areas but it is also moving into upper and lower jaw and into the jaw joint itself. The pain is not aggravated by touch, hot or cold. The pain episodes come 3-5 times a day, lasting for hours. I am entering my 8th month of this and it is getting the best of me. Does anyone have any idea what Iam dealing with?

i'm not a doctor but i get trigeminal facial pain and paralysis from time to time.  have had it for years, though my symptoms are much more manageable than yours.  from what i know , it sounds like you have classic symptoms of trigeminal neuralgia (although, unfortunately the full blown version of it).  i've read that if it isn't affected by touch, the source of the pain could very well be at the root, like a venous formation that constricts the root.  the merck manual (available online ) describes this.  I'm sure you've had mri's done to confirm if there;s a formation.  In my case, it;s caused by a large cavernous angioma, although it doesn't seem like this is the most common cause to trigeminal pain.  Are your mri's clear?
