Suggest Treatment For Clenching Pain In Cheekbone

I m finding some information that pertains; however, here goes. I m having clenching pain in left cheekbone that radiates to my left eye, along with sight disturbance. This concerns me because I had an acoustic neuroma removed from my right side (2.54 cm, retrosigmoid approach) in 2007 and had eye twitching related to it that I originally put down to stress. My guess is that I just need to go back to my neurosurgeon but have High Deductible plan and hate to go it not necessary.

Hi,

On the one hand a new symptom that goes in the pattern of a definite nerve problem is going to be
1) real and
2) needing attention.

On the other hand, it is going to be addressable. Worst case is that nothing is broke and the TRIGEMINAL NERVE IS IRRITATED. Nerve dampers like any anti-epileptic work really well on this.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Matt Wachsman, Addiction Medicine Specialist
