For as long as I can remember I have had reoccurring pain in my nose. It comes and goes. I never had any trauma to it as a child. The pain can be gone for a some time and reappear for no reason or it also comes when I am stressed or the weather is cold. This pain is usually accompanied by a dark shadow across the bridge of my nose and under both my eyes. I have attended several ENT specialists and been referred to a neurologist and also to get a CT scan to see if its caused by my sinuses. All these results came back clear and okay. No one knew what the problem was. I started attending a new specialist and he reckons that the pain is neuropathic pain and has prescribed me amitriptyline for a course of six weeks. He however could not explain the shadows across the bridge of my nose and under my eyes that only appear when this pain is occurring. Do you have any explanation or any treatments? The bruising is so severe people would ask if someone hit me and is quite embarrassing.
