I just got diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia. I've been on antibiotics for almost 2 years. Had my wisdom teeth out, then root tip went into my sinus. Got the tip out last year. Finally the ent doctor said quit the antibiotics. Did a cat scan. Doing a brain mri next week. Most painful thing I've been through. On my left side.

Dear Dr Hauser, thank you for this amazing video of the link between Trigeminal problems and cervical instability (which I have) - your knowledge in this field is truelly INCREDIBLE (from Terry in South Africa) 👌👍💕

Dr. House ... I mean Hauser 😄 Thank you in your immense study and understanding to share with us.

Wow this video really explained everything I needed I have MS and I’ve been having a lot of neck pain for years recently I started having pain in my face and under jaw and when you said to two at connected meaning that nerves I really felt a relief knowing that I finally have a diagnosis of some sort I’m going in for MRI real soon to really know but thank for explaining it in detail ❤😊

I get occasional painful nerve related sensitivity of the skin on my arm or head, face, and neck (assuming that's neuralgia) and definitely have some instability issues, but have never connected it to my joints! My sons, on the other hand, have TMJ and Chronic Trigeminal Neuralgia, and what you have said makes total sense.

Thank you so much Doctor

Eye opening information! Thank you

Thank you for sharing. I have been suffering for years. No one has helped me.

Thank you so much I’ve been struggling with TN for 5 years tried many medications that failed. I always believed it was neck associated due to whip lash and my hairstyling for 20 years. I believe my amazing Chiropractor saved me. I do take tramadol and Baclofin and have been pain free for 4 months. Lost 60% of my hair 😢from the drugs. Your explanation regarding the neck make so much sense to me. Bless you.

This is the best explanation and help I've seen yet! I just started getting it in Jan 2020. It's awful. I have been saying for a long time it was neck associated. My doctor finally approved for me to get an MRI of the neck. I have TN1 and TN2 bilateral. Loss of hearing and constant ear ringing just on my left side, coincidently Jan 2020, imagine that. Thank you for this video!!!! I'm hoping after the MRI we can find the cause and get relief.

Thank you for explaining this. I have gone to the doctor plenty of times for this pain and NO one told me any of this. I also have my wisdom teeth that are on my nerves as well. I’m just tired of hurting

I can’t believe a medical professional admits pain can be over a 10. I have been at a 100/10 frequently.

Thanks

Funny, I'm not a Dr. but at 18, I had gotten hit from behind...my whiplash didn't start for a year, it started a pain that was paralyzing nerve wise. They would give me muscle relaxers and I couldn't move for about 10 days. Back when the accident happened I additionally had a second neck injury at work. About 8 years or so later the nerve pain subsided but then TMJ started. I also have ringing in the ears and I always am aware at the base of my neck c123 area that that is where all this is derived now I am having trigeminal neuralgia on the right side of my face with left jaw pain. It's like you just described my personal medical issue. Thank you doctor for giving me a starting point. Excellent video and gives me a starting point with doctors

Yes Bagas nerve in that area! Years of this crap! No doctor had any help for me for years!

Sadly, it took me 3 years to get diagnosed and 7 years for them to find my Neuro vascular compression(s). When I was first diagnosed in 2002 at age 35, it wasn’t well known. I got very lucky and had an ER doc that diagnosed me in 5 questions after 3 years of seeing dentist, oral surgeon, etc.. I had a balloon Rhysotomy in 2002 on the left side that lasted 3 years and I am no longer a consideration for MVD as I have had 2 heart attacks at 36 & 40th old😞 They have since found that I have compressions in BOTH sides (found at Duke in 2014). I was also initially diagnosed with MS because of it but after getting a 2nd opinion, they said they I do NOT have MS.

Amazing. I'm currently using Amitriptyline to manage the pain but I think there are better ways.

Residual effects of Bells palsey! It is in jaw and ear right below ear when you open mouth!

My friend developed this pain after her jab. On top of the heart problems. Mdrna. Not safe for everyone. Not even close.

Thank you Doc! No chiropractor will see my mom due to get previous stroke :( CAN SHE?????? My mother had a pontine stroke.. craniotomy on the occipital lobe, shunt, and developed trigeminal nerve pain on the Left side of her face (V1,2 and 3) about 5 months post stroke (when she was fitted for new dentures) she favors the right side, so head leans towards the right side, due to some L side neglect... Therefore constantly stretching that left side.. A curve of the neck is noted even without an x-ray.. during craniotomy neck was cut.. This all makes so much sense!!!! She does not get pain when touched.. it's when she's just sitting or during OT or PT therapy and worst in the morning when she wakes up . She got Botox to relax muscles of the jaw 2 Weeks and is on gabapentin.. so far this is working too reduce pain by 90% However, after watching this . I feel like we are literally not getting to the root of the problem..

The chiropractor treated me, and after that, I got a burning month, and he caused my chronic pain.

I describe mine like dental freezing wearing off sometimes mine last 3 mins the worst I had was it lasting a long 7 hrs. I thought it was issue with the dental (saw the dentist there was no issues there) But I did have a face trauma back in April 2022 (landed face first) Note this isn't the first time I fell on this side of my face (first time I was 14 when I tripped over a hose and fell down concrete stairs) The pain omg I wish it on no one. I am on day meds (Baclofen)and night meds (Tegretol) I find sometimes the meds don't help so I end up with an ice pack for comfort (even to the point sleeping with the magic bag to my face). (from back of my right ear, into my cheek, temple, upper and lower right side of my lips only) never touches left side. I get zaps in my upper/lower lip. (Thankfully hasn't affected my sight yet) I do notice swelling when it hits me. I also notice it when chewing (my upper lower lip right side zaps)

Not sure if I had a trigeminal or just a TMJ, but the bones in my jaw moved and I went from having straight teeth to a crooked jaw, thankfully the pain went away, but the crooked jaw stayed.

I have trigeminal nephropathy from dental treatment and clicking in my tmj, is there anything for nerve damage -neurophaty or we still not there yet :/ thank you!

Dr Hauser, I have TN, I don’t have any headache pain, I do have the electric shocks, usually about 50 at a time.mine is in my left eye, forehead and around the side of my head. From what you are saying, this can be caused from bad disc in the neck? I’ve had throat cancer, I’m a total neck breather, all the muscle was removed from my neck. I have had bulging disc in my neck, the disc are bad. I’ve ask my doctor if this could be the cause of my TN, she said no. But from what you are saying, it could be?

Then can you explain how mvd surgery fix that issue like there theory is that vascular artery compress trigeminal nerve but what is the reality as in mri we can see sca artery touching it near trigeminal nerve. How to treat that issue?? Or remove compression from tn ...does this work in that case or not?? Vascular compression one...Why it compress tn?? And how to decompress it without surgery?? What to fix in this case because normal people have gap between trigeminal nerve and artery but in some there is compress in tn

Is there any surgery for that pain

Thank you But its a bad thihg I'm telling you for 9j and its still going on an on the pain is so so bad thank you

I feel like I am getting crazy fro this TN

I'm worry to say ts TMJ connected ... but i him small poping not a lot ...... but my back of my head and neck huert too form all this but the TN is the worse ... i also get tingling on the right side of my tongue ..... they aways connected it to my ms but after reading this i really think its do to neck instability ..... my PT even wanted me to do neck excersises cuz of the C5-C6 pitching ..... who would you suggest i talk to more about this my nero or my pain management doc ....

I had bad TN for months after dental work. I also had after a bout of Omicron this year. My right jaw often hurts on opening.

I had months of TN after dental work. Took Gabapentin. Recently after Omicrom it returned and I then took Pregabalin. I have neck pain constantly, probably cervical instability. Also have trouble with jaw pain and constant almost locking. I am in the UK and getting any treatment these days is almost impossible.

Would you think it’s negligence to cause this after a dental procedure?

Lamotrigine I’ve had cluster headaches for more than seven years now been on many medications that do not work But I’ve been using a medication called lamotrigine for few years now and has helped immensely please talk to your doctor to try it.

How about the eye, watery, pain right side of nose, jaw, teeth, gums, neck. So painful! Ice, heat?

I’ve been diagnosed since 2003. I am now in chronic with an updated mri. I’ve never had a mri this bad. Usually it showed acute symptoms shows past now it’s not. I have diabetes type two, one kidney , itp blood disorder. I’m limited to what I can have. Have been taking stuff I shouldn’t. I wear dentures now. I hate it. I’ve had to pull my last two dental implants. Not me my dentist. He said neither one wanted to come out. I’m certain that’s when things flew open. I can’t even handle a sound of a crying baby and or the sound of my electronic tooth brush. I have exact symptoms as your representing. I have neck problems as well. Per my mris on all I have type two Tri geminal neuralgia. I wear Baja in bone e Hearing aids as well. I’ve been diagnosed with tmj. Right side.

Must be a connection with tauretts and trigeminal neuralgia. Seems similar with uncontrollable sounds and movements. Please advise?

Dear doc i have some question can i ask?

My daughter 40 years old is going threw massive face , jaw pain ,eye twitching, blurry vision, no sleep because pain won’t stop 19 days now, waiting for the dr to call her to get a MRI 😢 I pray she doesn’t have this horrible condition

I have had TN and Tmj for years. I have had a spinal fusion at c5 and c6. I have dizziness. A neurologist told me he did not see how I could get di,zy from chewing , but I do. My oral surgeon give me therapeutic injections on right upper gum below cheek. This helps. I wear an upper denture which really makes pain worse. I don't have the electrical pain yet. My neurologist offered tegretol. I haven't used because I don't want to deal with side effects. It has been a nightmare.

Dr. Hauser I have been diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia back in Sep 2021, since I am on high dosage of medicine and even tried Ayurvedic panchakarma treatment which gave releif for 70% but starting Feb 2023 situation had worsen to starting stage, had MRI Brain which resulted two vascular loops one in left and other one in right at 7th and 8th nerve. Other than shocking triggers, I feel like I have ton weight on my head, vomitings, diahrea, numbness expands to hands, face and legs. Could you please suggest what more could I do to cure myself.

I have had five lumbar surgeries that have caused adhesive arachnoiditis peripheral neuropathy carpal tunnel and ulnar nerve decompression intercostal neuralgia in my left rib and trigeminal neuralgia in my left lip!!

I live in Dayton Ohio, my 83 year old mother is currently getting shots in the cheeks but her pain is worsening. Is there a doctor you recommend in Cincinnati or Columbus for a DMX?

Holy shit, I had surgery in 2019 & 2022. Now im trying carbamazemine again, it's still not working- what do I do??¿ I have multiple sclerosis 10 years, I'm 48... plz help.......

Took me 29 years to get diagnosed

Doc, I have a burning mouth, the dr thing it is TN. Is it possible that I get it from the cardoprac dr that cause this chronic burning. My neck is not the same after the cardoprac treats me

I need to know if soaking my feet in warm water

Is this related to shingles?

Two scientific for me, tell me some cures or ways to manage the problem

Hi what if there is vascular compression in mri??

Where would you go to get checked for cervical instability? A chiropractor?

I was dx with first TN then ON and it is unclear which i have however the pain is searing level 10 And it feels like an electric cattle prod electrocuting me into my brain into the back of the left eyeball. The pain is constant lasting 30 - 40 hours hours at a time and i have no idea what brings it on- anything come to mind? I would love to book an appointment. I dont have tmj but i did have traumatic injury to the neck and i broke my neck in 2011 followed by two major reconstructive surgery. Of all the pains this neuralgia into my eyeball is 100% disabling.

Can this cause the muscles in your face to clinch? I have all the symptoms of this with an indentation in my left cheek. Any help would be great thanks!!!

I’ve had multiple mri for my upper cervical area. Can this be related to my Tri geminal neuralgia?

I just did a nerve ablation c1,c2,c3,c4 , as I started having trigeminal neuralgia episodes 5 years ago, my latest episode started last August and then went into an occipital neuralgia episode. ( 10 months of pain now) I can't lay down without pain. Not sure if the ablation is going to help me.. it's only been 3 days and thus far I'm not seeing a big improvement. ( they say it can take weeks) we will see. If I don't start getting some relief you may be seeing me. It's no way to live.

Yes it is. Most doctors don't understand it. Been in that mill for 13 years, pfff

Yo doc, i am having som very very mild tingling sensation in my left side of face and back of my head. It its trigmerial neurolaga og trigemeria neuropathu

I have this temporarily this is horrible.

My TMJ went away after C0/C1/C2 PRP... but I wasn't being smart in my healing process... and now it's all coming back. Let alone tears to some Capitis muscles... and this is where I get misery from!

Hi, I'm in new Zealand, anyone here you can recommend I see for this?

Wow…do we realize that all of thisnis manageable, easily, with manual therapy? Aka bodywork? Along with proper strengthening and stretching and breath-work? It is unreal how many such symptoms get lost in this ringer of so-called science.

Pig or cow brain 2 ounces is the dose at precook weight, ur repair mechanism is weak you don’t have the building blocks to fix your nerves pig or cow brain would fix that…say 2 ounces per day for 3 to 5 days scrambled up with Eggs or whatever you can do but that will fix that that is for sure good luck everyone

I refuse to use anticonvulsants with the horrible side affects and it only masks the problem

You have that backwards, Doctor. Acute is worse than Chronic.
