Answer 2

Hi there, Im not sure what age you are BUT if the pain and inflammation are one sided , i.e one side of the facial area or head then it is suggestive that the pain is following the path of 1 or more branches of the trigeminal nerve on that affected side of your face. Possibilities are TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA, or if you are older(50+) TEMPORAL ARTERITIS. The latter of these two conditions mentioned is by far the more serious and is sometimes called GIANT CELL ARTERITIS. G.C.A usually carries symptoms similar to yours but also you should look out for symptoms such as pain upon chewing, scalp tenderness( pain when brushing hair) and in some cases you can actually physically examine the arteries on the temples(side of the head) and they may physically look swollen. You have detailed a quite complex medical history here but i would say that all the symptoms your having may not all have the same source. I would suggest your HBP and relevant meds to be irrelevant. I would go straight to a GP and get referred to a neurologist. All my best, John

Answer 3

I guess it depends on what type of pain and the severity but I have been prescribed magnesium for my joint pain and it has been very beneficial. It is by the way considered a natural muscle relaxer and the majority of americans have been known to have deficiencies in their magnesium intake. I would try taking a magnesium supplement for a few weeks and you should see a difference. If not keep looking, there is also a natural pain killer that targets the nervous system. It is Korean Angelica but you should seek professional help before taking this herb. Good luck and magnesium is a good start and a safe one.

Answer 4

I heard back in the day dandelion made good wine. Don't know nothing about them others. I say some good MARIJUANA will do the job best of all. Are you SCARED? or in PAIN? If this is not possible for you, you should have done the right thing first. Pray To God. Good Luck. And by the way I reccommend a good Sour Diesel Kush
