Hi, have suffering this totally distressful pain condition for 1.5 yr now, it is constant. When it first started it came out of the blue, when i felt that wearing glasses pressing on my nose bridge created a headache immediately. Now I'm wearing contacts, but the pain is constantly centered on my nose. I can feel both sides of my nose constantly vibrating/throbbing corresponding to my heartbeat, accompanied by pain at the centre of my forehead above the bridge of my nose, frequent eye pain (behind the eyes), sometimes sides of head feel pain as well. There is much pressure inside my nose and along my cheek bones and in my head, that kind of tightness that relates to a tension type headache.
Nerve meds don't work, and CT and MRI scans are negative. External stimuli now do not change my pain at all. Several ENTs told me they can't find anything physically wrong, except for a concha bullosa and a deviated septum, but did not advise surgery. The nerves at both sides of my nose relentlessly vibrate and pulsate and I feel that they are responsible for the pain felt in my sinus area.
Do you think it is ENT related or simply a neurological disorder? I read online about this rare anterior ethmoid nerve syndrome -- do you think my condition is related to the anterior ethmoid nerves, if so what surgical options are there? Have suffered a lot and really need to resolve this. Thanks.
