A member asked:

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

A doctor has provided 1 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.

Dr Keith and another doctor agreed
