How can I tell if its a damage nerve?

I have pain on the side of my nose since I had my first sinus surgery. I have had 2 more surgery's since then to correct structure that "may" have caused me the pain. I still have pain. My neurologist only wants to give me medicine to treat the systems. I am interested in fixing the problem. What are some other options to explore whether or not I have nerve damage or not? And can it be repaired.

you could have an n.c.t on your nose to see if you do have nerve damage.
I think there is an 18month window to repair nerves.
I would recommend botox injects for pain in nose i find them great for my problem.

best of luck.
