Hi,

I do understand that there is some compression of the trigeminal nerve, which is the main cause of the numbness. Trigeminal neuralgia causes burning sensation over the affected area but not numbness. Hence, neurotin is not effective for you.

You need to take oral steroids with vitamin B 12 to help in regeneration of the nerve. Also, consult a good neurologist or ENT specialist for a complete examination and review of the scan.

Hope I have answered your query. I'll be available for follow up queries.

Regards,
Dr. Ivan R. Rommstein, General Surgeon
