pain in nose, cheekbone, eyes, forehead Posted: 02-24-08 15:54pm
have been suffering with facial pain for 8
months now. Nose pain, cheekbone, eye
socket, pain behind eyes, at back of head,
forehead pain etc. My gp diagnosed it as
sinus probs and have had numerous anti-b's
and nasonex spray. Eventually in was
referred to ent where i had a camera in
nose. The doc said i had pus in my nasal
cavity and perscribed a 12 week course of
nasal drops and spray with some more anti
b's.
I have been back to ENT as no change where
i had another camera and another doctor
who said the pus had gone and as i have
never had any nasal congestion at all with
the other symptons, he didnt think it was
my sinuses but didnt know what else it
could be. He has arranged for me to have a
scan on the areas concerned and my brain
to try and rule out other things and
mentioned it could be neuralgia and i may
have to live with it. I have since looked
up neuralgia on the net and my symptons
dont really match those described.
I am starting to get really worried now
that it could be a tumour or cancer or
something...can anyone help?

How do the pain usually starts?
Is it getting worse when you bend your
head down?
Do you suffer from some allergies?

Hi....pain just usually starts, there is
no pattern to it and nothing i can think
of that triggers it. Its not worse when i
bend forward and i dont suffer from
allergies. I have since been perscribed
amitriptiline for the pain and have been
diagnosed with chronic neuralgia...am
currently on 20mg a day and still get the
pain sometimes but not as bad. My own GP
has told me stress can make the pain
worse?
