I'm in my 3rd month on agonising facial/tooth pain now and I'm starting to loose the will to live. I have been diagnosed with atypical facial pain by the Maxillofacial unit at the hospital. I feel a constant burning throbbing pain in my upper right teeth and gums. It's there from the minute I wake up till I go to sleep. Some days I am in agony and beg for the pain to stop. These days, like today are getting more frequent.
I have had 3 teeth removed in the hope of finding the pain to no avail, all x rays are clear. Have tried a few drugs nothing helps, Baclofen, Pregabalin and Carbamazepine. Can anyone give me any success stories or advice. I have tried hot compress, cold works a little but I need to know I can get through this it's so hard looking after 3 children as a single mum with this problem.
