Suffering From Trygeminal Nuralga, Had Nerve Blocks. Pain In Right Side Of Muscle In Face, On Amtripyline, Pregabalin. Reasons ?

I have been suffering from trygeminal nuralga for a number of years, I have had nerve blocks, and botox. the last injection i had seems to have to send pain signals down the right side of my face when I blink. I now have lots of pain in right side of muscle in my face which is like a heart beat in my mouth. i have not had this before, my consultant has now put me on 25mg of pregabalin , and 1ml of Amtripyline. Have been taking for one week still in agony. Do you think all the different procedurs could have caused the new symptons.

Hello.
Thanks for writing to us.
The pain in the right side of the muscles of the face is related to the nerve irritation caused by trigeminal neuralgia. You are taking the right treatment to reduce the pain. If the pain is persistent then the doses might need to be increased for relief.
I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you.
