Brief Answer: Suggestive of neuropathic pain. Detailed Answer: Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I have noted your symptoms. These are suggestive of neuropathic pain-of nerve origin. In this location, it is usually related to trigeminal nerve dysfunction. Normal MRI brain is a good news. Good medications for pain relief in your case could be either pregabalin capsules or carbamazepine tablets. In addition, a small dose of clonazepam may be used to reduce anxiety and improve sleep quality. I hope my reply has helped you. I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
