How to treat trigeminal neuralgia?
Patient: Yeah I ve got triggamenneuralgia n if I don t snort a pill my entire right side of face n head hurts so bad that all I do is cry, my eye seeks like golf ball b runs infection down it n my ear feels like it s gonna explode n my head hurts from front to back, my nose Hurst my face my teeth feel like I wanna pull them out.what do I do Doctor: Hi..Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...As per your complain and presentation of symptoms the first thing that you have to do is to consult a NEUROPHYSICIAN and get evaluated for the exact cause of the pain as in case of Trigeminal Neuralgia as many a times due to any large artery compression over the trigeminal nerve can lead to severe pain along the course of Trigeminal nerve and until the compression is not removed pain recurs when medication is not taken..In such cases surgical decompression of the nerve from the artery by a procedure known as MICROVASCULAR DECOMPRESSION can help in relieving the nerve pressure and can resolve pain..Hope this information helps..Thanks and regards..Dr.Honey Nandwani Arora..
