Hi Everyone, I have had ear pain from a blocked parotid gland for over 10 years and treat it with CBD and heat. Recently, I had a different pain for 3 weeks and it was extending from my ear down to the center of my chin. Last Monday, the pain was awful. I called my PC but couldn't get in so I went to Centra care where I was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia. I was put on 30 mg of prednisone for 10 days. I do take Gabapentin- 900mg/ day for neuropathy. I can't take amlytripoline as I have Sjogren's. I had Gamma surgery in 2019 for a meningioma. Do any of you know if it's related? I called my PC' office yesterday and my PC is on maturnity leave. the covering doc said to go back to Centra care but Centra care said to deal with my PC. The notes the doc put in my chart said it was Gout! I have messaged the office as I don't have Gout and she never even saw me. One of my questions was if I should increase my Gabapentin but the doc wrote it doesn't help Gout. I will be so glad when my PC is back but I don't know what to do. I can't take NSAIDS as I have AFIB. Is Gabapentin the best drug? Thanks for you help.
