I've had one sided migraine type headaches for about three months not. I also keep getting a tightness in the left side of my face and my left inner ear also hurts. My teeth on the left side also hurt. Oh, and I get burning behind my left eye and the left side of my neck hurts, front and back.
My endodentist told me it's probably trigeminal neuralgia, chiropractor says occipital neuralgia and ENT says TMJ. I don't see how it can be trigeminal neuralgia since the pain is not so bad as they describe on TN sites, despite being a constant pain. Plus it's not a shooting pain. My headaches, although there, and throbbing, got a lot better after some deep tissue massage, and the pain is so mild for the most part that if I am kept busy I can almost forget about them. But if I am sitting down I just hurt. The back of my head, near my nape also hurts, like someone is hitting it.
I have a neurology appointment on the 15th of next month but really, it seems that none of my symptoms are really brain tumor related. But I am still frightened it could be. I'm scared it could be TN even though really it doesn't seem that my symptoms fit that. I just don't know what's wrong with me and I'm frightened. I'm dreading the neurology appointment (or rather the results of any testing). My face and head on the left side also itch a lot. Urgh!
