Trigeminal Neuralgia: Important Things To Know If You Have Facial Pain-UF Neurosurgery

I pray God heals everyone going through this pain right now in Jesus mighty name. Amen!

My mom suffered from this for 25 years, last year she had a treatment of radiation/laser at Stony Brook Hospital and next day she was pain free and still today. No more pills either

I had this for days.. it hurts so much. Only Jesus was comfort. I cry to Him and he comforted me. Today I Believe he has touched me and the pain will never come back again. I pray same healing power of Jesus in your pain right now! I now know it’s not easy at all to go through this pain. Father, please show your mercy and heal this person in your name Jesus. Let the pain never come back in your name. Amen! Receive it friends, pain killers don’t heal, Jesus does.

I just started meds..diagnosed quickly..my Ms Neuro knew exactly what it was...titrating up now..starting to feel some relief...Thank God for doctors like you...this is drop me to my knees painful ...a gift from my MS...im glad there is help👍

It is a comfort to know that the horrible, horrible pain We have suffered through is made real by knowing others understand what a monster TN is. We aren’t crazy. We aren’t hypochondriacs. It really hard to live when every day you know the monster is coming and you beg God to take you. Bless us all. Mercy on all of us. I love and care for all of you like no other.

OMG I had this!! I was misdiagnosed over and over and then an ER doctor ( bless him) finally said what I had and what to do. It is very scary.

great informational video

very informative lucid video..thank u so much doc

TN is called “the Suicide Disease” for a real reason. The pain wants you to end your life. It’s unbearable. I’m just starting on meds. I’m praying it works.

This is horrible misdiagnosed misinformed mishandled for years. Miss ..We don't know what to do we'll just call it CRAZY. Thank-you for clarifying and validating this.

Mine is a very rare case as it centers in the left side of my brain. Swallowing can trigger the attack's. Every time It hits me it's a major attack, with each one coming faster then the last, and lasting longer. I just got my script of Tegretol filled today . My pain is 10+ I see a specialist as soon as they are open after the weekend is over, so they can be open to answer the phones. I'm so ready for the pain to be over. I don't care if i have numbness. Anything to stop this pain, Feels like getting a red hot steal railroad spike hammered into your head, and it happens with out notice. All I can do is scream out in pain.Poor husband can't get a good nights sleep with me screaming. I get so worn down after a few hours of attacks. Makes me so weak I can't hold my head up, or sit upright. Thanks for reading my woe's. I have to go lay down now. God Bless.

Thank you for posting this very informational and important video! Many will be helped by it.

I'd rather be in labour pain than this ,it's so painful seriously real .

Lianne, thank you for your comment on the video. I am not a doctor and can not offer you any medical advice. Try contacting The Facial Pain Association at their website listed at the end of the video. There, among other things, you can find contact information for doctors listed by state. If you wish to speak with Dr. William Friedman his contact information is listed there under the state of Florida. Hope this helps.

Awesome video

Very knowledgable doctor!

Need a follow up on these people to see the today!

I have had that for years Its brings you to your knees. I still have that but lately last 5 months its has been Silent. My Dr gave me oxcarbazepine the other day as it waa going to start again.I have my pray that it will completely stop. Thank you for the video

i found not cleaning teeth in that area during attack helps. That was before i knew what it was. Just realised today. I was also offered root canal. i didnt have it. Second opinion said maybe its gum infection. on Amoxicillin just incase. And i also have been told in the past by dentists that nothing wrong and that i worry too much. Good video. I got it now! had early warning sign few weeks back . when i touched top of my mouth i hit a nerve or something. just slightest touch felt like a needle. then 2 minutes later it was gone.

Im in pain now but on the meds at this time .I have nearly had all my teeth out thinking what can this pain be .I knew the pain was worse then i have ever had .Still is .Had this on going .Most of the time my pain lastis for over a year .I just can not stand it .Taken over my life .Can not do any thing at all.
