Mysterious pain

[Funghetti]

I wrote a thread a couple of days ago, I was having some teeth worries. Two days after I posted, I started having wisdom tooth pain.

I went to see my dentist, expecting him to say I had to have it pulled out, but surprisingly the tooth is healthy.

The pain continued and I saw my husband's dentist, who carried out X Rays and couldn't find anything wrong, and my teeth are good.

Yesterday I wasn't in pain, but half an hour ago the pain started again, and quite strong. It moved to another tooth, and it's a sharp, sometimes burning pain, which seems to go under the jaw, and sometimes above the eye. It affects most of my teeth from the right side.

What could it be? Sometimes it stops me from doing anything, I'm in so much pain. Is it in my head?

I get that when my sinuses are playing silly buggers.

My ex had this with terrible dental pain, it turned out to be his ear

Sinus pain most likely, but if it continues get to the Dr

Also do your neck stretches regularly - any constriction makes nerve pain in the face more likely and more severe

Trigeminal neuralgia? Or sinus problems?

I was just coming on here to say trigeminal neuralgia. It's awful and there is often no identified cause.

Thanks, I will try and see the GP for this. I do grind my teeth when stressed, but it got better over the years and normally I do not feel pain in the morning, as I'd expect from grinding teeth. Pain seems very random.

I will look into trigeminal neuralgia.

Word of caution - going in and suggesting trigeminal neuralgia could get you labelled as a drug-seeker or hypochondriac.

Your best approach is to document what's happened so far, and keep a headache diary until you can get into the doctor. Confirm that you've had your teeth checked, and rule out sinusitis.

And do your neck stretches

Good luck
