Hi, I recently had a few lightening bolt type episodes of pain shoot across my face. It happened 2 days in a row, and then I had a terrible ear ache. I waited a week and went to my doctor. My ear was fine. I still have horrible ear pain and occasional "pressure" feeling in my check, all on the right side. I saw a neurologist who said it is Trigeminal Neuralgia, and has ordered MRI's of my brain and neck. I am also on gabapentin right now. Since the face pain I have started having all kinds of twitching in my calves, and I also have been experiencing involuntary movements like my hand will jump or my shoulder will shrug, and now I am terrified that this is something more serious, like ALS. I do not notice any weakness, and I know my anxiety is at an all time high. I am just wondering if anyone has experienced this? With it settling mostly in my ear it makes me afraid it is not Trigeminal Neuralgia.
