Atypical facial pain that affects nerves in cornea
My trigeminal nerve was damaged permantly during an endodontic procedure. I have chronic burning facial pain, bms, taste problems, food restrictions, burning nose, teeth pain and now the nerves in my cornea are burning. Is there any help out there? An endodontist gave me 2 shots of lidocaine that hit my mandibular nerve and I have had chronic facial pain for over 8 years. I've taken gabapentin, clonopin and lyrica with little success but lots of side effects.

That is so painful!
I have Polyneuropathy. Of course that’s a lot different than what you are battling. However, I am wondering if you can take the same Supplement I take that eases the pain from the neuropathy. It sounds like you have nerve damage. If so, you could try taking this supplement that was recommended by neurologist.
It’s, alpha lipoic acid (ALA). I take 600mg twice a day with food.
It’s available most places that sell vitamins etc including Amazon, and Walmart. I don’t get any side effects from it at all.
