Hello and Welcome to the Pain Mangement Forum. I apologize for my tardy response. But I am glad that you found us and took the time to post.
I am sorry to hear about this long time undiagnosed mysterious pain you are having. I do beleive you are doing the right thing by having a new clinical evaluation.
A more recent MRI or CT Scan with contrast will provide some detailed pictures of the area. It sounds like nerve pain. I hope you will consult a neurologist. I wish you well and hope that you will let us know how you are doing.
Take Care,
Tuck
Yes I have gotten one done but there were no visable problems but that was a long time ago. I think i will try to get another MRI done.
Have you had any xrays or MRI's done? I don't know if the neck would effect the face, I guess it would depend on the level of any probelm in the neck. When I was young I use to get it in the back shooting down my leg and I couldn't move. Later turns out it was a bulging disc that finally ruptured and led to my current probelms.
