What Causes Pain In The Right Side Of The Face With A Family History Of Neuralgia?
I have sharp like right face pain 7-9 days before menses start only. mother and aunt have been diagnosed in their 70 s with trig.neuralgia. Mine started in mid 20s. lasts for seconds only. have to grab my head and push against the horrible short lived pain.Temperature, caffeine and alcohol do not aggrevate it.
It can be something called “temporal neuralgia” one of the worst pain condition. As of now you can take analgesics like Gabapentin or Tramadol which are quite effective for neuropathic pain as in this case. If pain persists, you have to consult a neurologist and get evaluated.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
