I'm 23 female and have been having pain in my temples, mostly the left side. Feels like my temple is on fire. I feel a sensation of almost burning/heated feeling. I've had this for about 3 months now. I went to a neurologist, and had an mri. The mri showed that the cause of my heated pain in my temples in Trigeminal Neuralgia. I do have a shocklike pain in my high cheekbone area as well, with mostly being on the left side. My MRI of the brain showed, that my Pituitary gland is enlarged, and the neurologist thinks there is no tumor present. My neurologist prescribed antiseizure medication, which i've been taking for 3 weeks, and has no effect at all, i've tried endomethacin & Carbatrol, and also Topamax for migraines, with no relief of this heated pain. Could the pituitary gland be the cause of my heated pain?, anybody with these symptoms out there?! Any suggestions? Thanks.
