I have been diagnosed with atypical facial pain after months of cheek,jaw and neck pain. My pain is constant, aching, burning and I have only had minimal remission. Narcotics and muscle relaxers do nothing. My mri was normal. I am really starting to get depressed from the constant pain and no one believing me or wanting to help.

In the past 6 months my pain has only worsened and my symptoms increased. At first I just had the jaw and cheek pain, then it started radiating down the side of my neck on the affected side. I have twinges, occasional feelings of skin crawling on affected side and occasional buzzing under skin behind ear on that side. Now I am having sever neck pain on that side and pain down the back of my neck between the brain and spine. This occurs mostly when I lie on my back or am driving for long periods.

I am under a neuro's care and have been going thru the med trial and error to get relief, but so far no luck.

Please anyone with advice or similar problems, help me.

Thanks.
