What Causes Tingling Sensation In The Hands When Diagnosed With Trigeminal Neuralgia?

I was diagnosed with trigeminal neuralgia. I ve been taking a medication for it and have been experiencing weakness with it. I was told it would go away. It s been a couple of months now and I am still feeling weak and I have picked up more symptoms. My hips and shoulders give me extreme pain. My movement is stiff and slow after sleeping or sitting for more than 5 minutes. I am constantly feeling pain so much that it can keep me up at night. I have more tingling in my hands. I have had tremors in my hands and balance problems for a few years since an auto accident and it seems to be getting a little worse.

Hello,

As in trigeminal neuralgia the pain will mostly over the face and due to this the pain will never be in upper limbs and lower limbs.

As of now, there is not a complete solution for the trigeminal neuralgia except the medicine to control the symptoms and the healing is on its own.

For the symptoms of the upper limb and lower limbs I think this should be related to the intervertebral disc Degenerative disease, using a cervical collar and lumbar spinal brace will help stabilize the spinal column.

Post which hot water fermentation and exercise to improve the muscles should be looked, for improving the stability of the spinal column and also the strength of the muscles.

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

Take care

Regards,
