What is this burning sensation under the skin of my cheekbones? Help!!

[Crooke]

Has anyone heard or experienced a burning sensation limited to the face, but under skin of both cheek bones.  It comes and goes; its is most prevalent upon waking up in the morning or later at night, but it also occurs during the day.  My PCP siid it was sinus infection because it affected both sides of my face.  Antibiotic treatment was unsuccessful.  Applying slight pressure to either cheek area can start up the burning.  Only Darvocet relieves the pain.  I really need help with this.  The discomfort is unbearable and very distracting.  Please help if you can.  Thank you.

I have had this problem for seven yrs. Had gallbladder problem, HAd gallbladder taken out a few mths ago. I had thought it was the reson why i was having this burning, but no.. What it is is from the nerves,, I have yet to have it go away, I have been taken bulspar. an anxiety medicine, ANd I have also went to health food store for natural remedies. I dont know if it will ever go away, But it is caused by the nerves. Try anxiety medicine, bulspar is good.  Do you have problem with puffiness under eye are. around the whole eye ara. I do, I think it is food allergy

Curious if anyone has found what could be causing this?  I've had this going on for several months.  I can tell that it's sinus and nerve related.  My CT shows no infection, however it can't show irritation

Hi.  Did you ever find out what the burning was?  I have had it on and off (mostly on) for 2 months now.  I also have a throbbing in my nose.  Sometime it feels like my face is burning from the inside out and there is a constant headache.  It is every day.  I started allergy shots, have been on antibiotics (many kinds), do nasal rinses, use astepro, nasonex, xyzal, singulair and just stopped mucinex-d because it was making me very emotional (either numb, or angry or crying).  This has affect every aspect of my life.  I had cat scan, blood test, etc.  The cat scan shows fluid in the maxillary sinuses and some ethnoid sinusitus.  My ENT now suggested he "snip" my left turbinate.  I am so confused and defeated.  Can anyone help?
