    a little vent

    I'm having a new symptom that I never dealt with before. I am having severe pain on the left side on my face. I called my neuro. I told him about it when I saw him on Monday. I had the pain last week, but only for one day. Then the pain came back yesterday, and has not let up.

    They called back to see if I was on Lyrica and how much I was taking and never called back. I'm moving on the 25th of this month. I don't know why the dr. office never called back. I'm still in pain, and I don't know what to do. I don't know if they don't want to deal with me anymore since I am moving or what.

    I am sorry for what you are going through. That kind of pain is awful! I wonder if your doctor does not prescribe opiates. But I would see if they have an after hours doctor on call and ask him/her.

    Hope you find something soon and get relief. Would ice help? Its a natural pain reliever to a point. But try not to think about the near future or you'll only make your body react worse, I am afraid.

    Hope you feel better soon. Let us know.

      I am sorry for what you're going through. Maybe you could" kill two birds with one stone" and try to find a doctor where you will be moving to and see if they can help you. Just a thought I had. Best of luck to you.

        It could be trigeminal neuralgia. But, it could also be dental related. I had the same kind of thing going on. I ended up trying the dentist and it was an old filling that had come loose.

          I know this is going to sound odd, but I put some vicks vapor rub on my left side of my face, and it is helping. I'm just so frustrated with my doctor. How could they leave me hanging like that when they know I'm in pain.

            Well, I heard back from my neuro today. They want me to take 2 lyrica 3 times a day so instead of 75mg, I am getting 150 mg 3 times a day. They want me to try it for a couple of days and see if it works for the pain. If not, they will try something else.
