Title: Facial pain
Post by: joycebaskin on January 09, 2009, 06:36:59 pm

Just wanted to say this was my first day without facial pain since my surgery in 2007.  I am on neurtoin & lyrica and they both seem to be helping. I still have no facial movement but right now no pain to me is great just wanted to tell someone.  I read this forum all the time and it is very informative and comforting.
Thanks Joyce

Joyce:

I was so pleased to learn that you've had a 'pain breakthrough' and decided to post it here.  Thanks for doing that...and may your days continue to be pain-free.  :)

hi all! someone on here recommended a physiatrist for all the pain i suffer. long story short i looked em up in my area. turns out the pain mngmnt dude my husband sees is one of the same! very nice guy and hes been aware of my condition for quite some time now cuz i always go w/ hub to the doc. made an appt and saw him the other day. i'm going to have botox injections! could be so wonderful if they work to make my facial pain go away! one less horrible thing to deal with every day.anyway i get my first ones on the 25th so wish me luck and ill keep everyone posted. it could be the miracle we facial pain sufferers are looking for!

hooray joyce! no facial pain! i just recently got rid of mine too. surgery in 2005 and excruciating face pain pretty much ever since. had the lyrica but it didnt work out. take trileptal which took the edge off unless i was having a bad episode but now do botox injections and they are a miracle! that face pain really makes you worn down. i even had to lose 5 teeth and had the synkenesis and twitching something awful too. i am so glad you have found relief. i certainly know where you are coming from. so happy for you, kerri
