Do I suffer from Trigeminal Neuralgia? I don't know what else it could be,or how to treat it.

	Asked by Unregistered (Female; 30; unremarkable; Relevant drugs:advis steriodal nasal spray in left nostril, 2 sprays, 1 time daily. ) on Sat 21, Jun 2008 06:53pm
	30, female. sufferring from tooth and mouth pain for the past 8 months. has x-rays that indicated acute sinusitis--no other symptoms of sinusitis--I've been given steriod nasal spray, which do not change the symptom. It goes away then comes back with no rhyme or reason. It's a thropping, stabbing pain that sometimes hurts even if wind touches my face and it changes which tooth it's centered around but its always on the left side of my mouth sometimes the to and sometimes the bottom. I've been to the dentist a dozen times and they can't find anything wrong but continue to try and do root canals on me. What do you think is causing this?

	Answer by Dr.Rohit Agarwal (doctor) on Wed 19, Aug 2009 10:42pm: Hello, If you cannot find any disorder with teeths then one should for other reasons like sinus inflammation which do take time to heal but not so much. There is high chance of trigeminal neuralgia. Consult your neurologist. Take care.
