Parotid tumor: Sorry to hear this. You facial nerve has been cut - you are having neuropathic pain. You should be placed on a Medrol (methylprednisolone) dose pak, some Gabapentin or pregabalin, perhaps a NSAID and i would also use a topical gel (mefanamic acid, ketamine, tizanidine, menthol, camphor) that you can apply 4 times a day. Sometimes a nerve block may also help.
