Answer 1

I would like to contribute to this ..in a big way ..because ..i myself have struggled because of this severe pain.
By saying "Trigeminal Pain", I think what you mean is the "Trigeminal Neuralgia ", which is supposed to be more painful than labour pains !
The medical treatment available for this is
Tab carbamazepine the dosage for which will be decided by your neurologist. But this tablet has its own negative points. and efficacy has individual variations. In addition some other tablets are also available.
For the people who dont respond to medical treatment, a minor surgical procedure is available. Its called as Radio Frequency Coagulation (RFC) which is being done in specialist neurological institutes like NIMHANS Bangalore , and some hospitals in Cochin..
By this procedure, some people do get a relief for nearly 6-10 years..Some people do get permanent relief from this by this procedure.
For the people who dont respond by this procedure will have to undergo major surgical procedure, Majority respond to RFC of the Trigeminal ganglion, which should be done by a competent neurosurgeon.
Dont worry ! you will come out of it !

Answer 2

My Husband has had this for a few years too I have never seen him in so much pain as with this.
He got tired of all the doctors and then he went to a Nerve doctor. Can't remember what they are called but they only work with the nerves. He put him on Tegertol and sees him every 3 months now to adjust his meds. My husband has not had any pains for over 7 months now he was just saying he wants to get off the meds now and I had to remind him the pain will return if he does.

Answer 3

The wrist itself contains eight small bones, called carpal bones. These bones are grouped in two rows across the wrist. The proximal row is where the wrist creases when you bend it. Beginning with the thumb-side of the wrist, the proximal row of carpal bones is made up of the scaphoid, lunate, and triquetrum. The second row of carpal bones, called the distal row, meets the proximal row a little further toward the fingers. The distal row is made up of the trapezium, trapezoid, capitate, hamate, and pisiform bones. All of the nerves that travel to the hand cross the wrist. Three main nerves begin together at the shoulder: the radial nerve, the median nerve, and the ulnar nerve. These nerves carry signals from the brain to the muscles that move the arm, hand, fingers, and thumb. Two important ligaments support the sides of the wrist. These are the collateral ligaments. There are two collateral ligaments that connect the forearm to the wrist, one on each side of the wrist. That’s the technical bit out of the way. Possible Problems: Carpal Tunnel Syndrome: People (Patients) with carpal tunnel syndrome initially feel numbness and tingling of the hand in the distribution of the median nerve (the thumb, index, middle, and part of the fourth fingers). These sensations are often more pronounced at night and can awaken patients from sleep. The reason symptoms are worse at night may be related to the flexed-wrist sleeping position and/or fluid accumulating around the wrist and hand while lying flat. Carpal tunnel syndrome may be a temporary condition that completely resolves or it can persist and progress. See your doctor if you are experiencing any of the above Repetitive Wrist Strain Injuries (likely) (RSI) Repetitive Strain Injuries in the wrist primarily occur from repetition of a physical movement. This repetition causes damage to tendons, nerves, muscles, and other soft body tissues. Repetition of a movement can cause wrist tendonitis, sprains, bursitis. Symptoms It often starts with a slight ache every now and then, which people often ignore. As time passes and the damage continues, individuals may experience symptoms while performing the repeated activity, when typing for example. As the situation becomes more severe, pain may be felt most of the time, even with the slightest movement. One or both upper limbs may be affected. Many people also experience numbness and tingling. Sometimes, this and the pain mean that they find it difficult to hold objects, and often drop them. Treatment •Prevention is always better than a cure so therefore reduce the amount of time spent doing activities that have caused the injury. Use of wrist supports and better seating position will help to reduce pressure on the wrist. Also take frequent breaks from the movement. •Heat or cold packs will reduce pain and discomfort •Painkillers and Anti-inflammatory medicines •Elastic wrist supports •Acupuncture •Firm wrist splints •Physiotherapy •Osteopathy Non Steroidal Anti-Inflammatory Drugs (NSAIDs) can be used as simple pain killers (analgesics), but paracetamol is usually preferable, as it is likely to have less unwanted effects, and costs less. They are most useful in conditions which cause inflammation. The anti-inflammatory effects may take from a few days to three weeks to come on, so it is worth persevering for a while before deciding that a NSAID is not going to help. It is also important to immobilise the wrist as much as possible. again: See your doctor if you are experiencing any long term continuous pain.

2. Injection of alcohol may be tried.

Any how consult the doctor soon.

Answer 5

first of all i want to say please dont make urself week
may god bless you and give you good health. it touches me when i read that u want to die
be strong i know its easy to say for me but not for u to do. as a physiotherapist i studied little about mvd AND The aim of MVD surgery is to alleviate neurovascular compression upon the trigeminal nerve root. This permits the trigeminal nerve nucleus to recover from its state of hyperactivity and return to a normal, pain free condition. In this surgery Micro-instruments are used to mobilize the offending vessels away from the trigeminal nerve root. The decompression is permanently maintained by inert implants
but overall i want you to take suggestion from a team of neurologists and a proper discussion is needed in your case.
and then it is to be decided for a surgery or any alterations in ur medication?
may god bless you and your all pain will be resolved soon by the god's grace

Answer 6

Surgical ablation of sensory root of Trigeminal nerve( V cranial nerve on affected side ) cures the condition..

Answer 7

Have you ever tried seeing a chiropractor.. I find the surgical approach to be just a stab in the dark.. What is the reason for having this problem?.. Why has that not been pursued? How many years ago did you injure your neck?

Answer 8

consult doctor
