Hi everyone, I’ve just been diagnosed with Trigeminal Neuralgia the pain is driving me crazy. To complicate things I also have Epilepsy and I’m already taking the Carbamazepine for that , so my Doctor is getting in touch with the Neurologist to see what they can do. To be honest I’ve this 6 weeks and I would get on that operation table now to take the pain away. If this is my life now I just don’t want it, I feel so fed up with the pain. Up until 6 weeks ago was having evenings out, going to concerts etc and it just feels like my life has stopped because of this debilitating pain. Any advice would be greatly appreciated xx
I just can post my personal experience. I am no t a doctor or therapist but I have been facing with muscular problems and neural pains on the left side of my body for many years.
I managed to stop 90% of my trigeminal neuralgia after suffering it for many months. In my particular case therapeutic deep tissue massage worked wonders that was the paramount point of the recovery. some mussels around my neck, left shoulder and left shoulder blade were stiff and fascia looked as hard as prosciuto flesh. I accompained this treatment with deep back stretches and some pain killers at night. It took me around 4/5 times during 12 days with the fisio to feel a big change. I am continuing towards the 12th session and I dropped pain killers already.
Each case in different but My humble advise, check for mussle knots and fascia problems for the neuralgia.
