Neurologist,  's  Response
Hello,
By 'results were positive' probably you meant that MRI was normal. If that is the case then it is not a serious thing. There is a possibility that the nerve supplying the area of face is getting compressed and because of that you are having these symptoms. There are many medications available for such pain. Instead of visiting many doctor you should stick to one neurologist and let him adjust the medications till you get best relief.
Good luck.
