Lovely review received first thing on a Monday morning.
As someone with a special interest in TMJ surgery it’s not infrequent to get a fair amount of crossover with other causes of facial pain.
Trigeminal neuralgia is a debilitating condition and there is no “diagnostic test” so it relies on a combination of the narrative and exclusion of other potential pathologies.
It was incredibly rewarding to see this lady at her first review after starting carbamazepine which even at a low dose lead to a 90% resolution of symptoms.
If you have facial pain issues, don’t suffer in silence. Please get in touch today and I’ll do my very best to help.
