Hi everyone,
I am just wondering if anyone has or thinks they have some form of neuralgia. Recently I have had just about every test under the sun (MRI and CT scans of the brain, multiple blood tests, etc) and every one has come back normal (thank God), but I am still struggling with pain that is coming from a "hot spot" on my head, close to the top of my right ear. It has been there for at least a week now. It is always uncomfortable, but there are times when the pain is so severe and searing that I think I am going to pass out. The area is very sore and warm, and touching it makes it worse. I can no longer lie on my right side because of the pain. While I have been under really bad stress for the last two months with multiple panic attacks, I don't think this pain is just from panic and anxiety. Over-the-counter meds like Advil and Motrin do not help at all. Out of desperation, I just took a Vicodin pill from a prescription my fiance got when his wisdom teeth were taken out. That has numbed the pain, but the area is still warm and "buzzy," like a downed power line or something.
Also, I am getting numbness and tingling in my right arm.
Has anyone experienced similar symptoms? I feel like I am going to go crazy from the pain or the anxiety. Any feedback would be helpful.
Thanks and have a great weekend.
