What cause pain in face under the eye starting from cheek bone?
Patient: i have a sharp striking pain in my face just under my left eye , but starts on my check bone near my nose and runs down just a small bit. but the pain is sharp and last just a second for each strike. comes and goes, been doing this all afternoon and is still doing it now at 1:30 am. Doctor: Hello,  Your symptoms might be the early onset of TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA Disease.   Trigeminal neuralgia is a painful condition that affects the trigeminal nerve, which carries sensation from your face to your brain.   You may initially experience short, mild attacks. But trigeminal neuralgia can progress and cause longer, more frequent bouts of searing pain.  It's advisable to go and visit a Neurologist who might ask you to go for MRI Brain for a confirmed diagnosis and treatment.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
