Question 1

what is the cure for trigeminal neuralgia?

Accepted Answer

Difficult: Trigeminal neuralgia is what conventional medicine calls unusual and severe face pain.
Contrary to this idea is that the pain is myofascial, not neuralgia, and it is due to injury to muscle and fascia. In addition to medicine, we treat it with infrared light, dry needling, trigger point injections, prolotherapy, PRP injections, and anti-inflammatory diet.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

Many causes &amp; Rx's: Trigeminl neuralgia has many causes- sometimes something pressing on the nerve, illnesses like MS &amp; Lyme Disease etc.
Standard treatment is various drugs or surgery- see  http://tinyurl.com/7fssqw
However, it is often cured by homeopathy so I advise seeing a good homeopath- see http://www.homeopathycenter.org
Cranial osteopathy also often helps- see http://physician.academyofosteopathy.org/

especially eye & inside mouth.   am scheduled to have a nerve block nxt week but wondering if that is a good idea since i am already numb won't that procedure make me more numb?

Accepted Answer

Legitimate concerns: Your concerns would be best addressed by the doc performing procedure. Timing will be critical as well for the procedure as you suggested.

Question 6

can trigeminal neuralgia be cured by naturopathy ? or by doing acupressure on ones index finger ?

Accepted Answer

Possibly; unlikely: I often advise acupressure but doubt it would cure trigeminal neuralgia (tn).
Naturopathy includes many modalities. There are many possible causes of tn. A naturopath will search for the cause & may treat with vitamins, herbs, detox, homeopathy etc. Naturopathy might cure some cases but probably not all. You can also consult a homeopath or a holistic md; see http://www.Abihm.Org/search-doctors.

Question 7

does atypical trigeminal neuralgia includes the stabbing electric shock pain felt in classical tn? or can you have atn without electric shock pain?

No electrical pain: Atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia common symptoms: longer attacks, constant background, no electrical quality pain.

Question 8

35 f. rare bite cells & hypocellular marrow 15-20%.  mild polychromasia & high retic. trigeminal neuralgia & atypical hemangioma in c4 vert. related?

Accepted Answer

No: Your neuralgia, your inconsequential hemangioma, and what sounds like G6PD deficiency that you can learn to manage are not related. I am glad you are taking a proactive approach Yoro your health.

Question 9

is left index finger pain a sign of atypical trigeminal neuralgia on the left side of face?

Accepted Answer

Not at all: The finger pain is fully independent of your trigeminal issues, and represents an additional co-morbidity.  A hand specialist can more fully evaluate.

Question 10

do you have to have stabbing electric shock pain on the face to have atypical trigeminal neuralgia? my face burns on the left side but not stabbing!

Accepted Answer

No: Any feeling or numbness along the nerve area is trigeminal neuropathy. You need to see a doctor for better history and detailed exam to come up with a treatment plan to help resolve this discomfort and stop it from worsening. I hope you feel well soon.
