Tn cause?
I had an extreme flare up of trigeminal neuralgia for about 3 months ago now, i had to get to the ER and the pain was relentless it was mainly in my right lower teeth and jaw/cheek on the right side, the flare up lasted around 7 days and was as if it built up in strenght during those 7 days of which the last was extreme,however since then the pain has changed significantly , first of all the pain has decreased very much after the 7th day. It has been like 2/10pain that comes a few times a day and sometimes it goes up to 4-5/10 however the pain has become bilateral and also the occipital zones are hurting, i am also experiencing nerve pain in legs and arms. My doctor isnt taking me serious due to my young age (20) and he keeps saying its due to stress, however i forced him to referr me to a mri to get tested for ms by threatning to file a report, i am now waiting for the mri, what baffles me is that if it was ms it would probably be tn2 right? Not improve like mine has been doing , right now the occipital spaces dont hurt at all just if i look down for to long or am super stressed, mostly its both my ears and cheeks hurting now but much much less then before it feels like its improving every day or two very confusing since the widespread pain points in a systematic issue but at the same time the pain sort is not lining up with ms, has anyone else experienced this? Sorry for a long text just had to put it out this shit has been fucking with my head the past 3 months and i know i am lucky to not be in super pain like many others are.
