Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..
I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
As per your complain and presentation of symptoms and the course of pain and the aggravating factors that cause the increase in pain clearly indicates that you are suffering from
TRIGEMINAL NEURALGIA which is caused due to either compression of the
trigeminal nerve by any large
artery or a tumour or cyst or due to physical trauma to the nerve by some blow or accident or due to dental procedure..
The nerve compression or
injury can lead to
electric shock like pain in the course of trigeminal nerve which is fifth
cranial nerve and provides sensations to face..
The pain can aggravate due to talking, chewing, shaving, touching the affected side of face, or even affecting the affected side of face..
The medication that you are taking like TERGETROL [CARBAMAZIPINE] is first line medicine and is given to control pain in trigeminal neuralgia..
Neugaba is a second line drug used to control neuralgic pain..
As the pain is not being controlled you should consult a NEUROPHYSICIAN and get evaluated and he can advise you to get an MRI SCAN done so that he can evaluate the course of the trigeminal nerve and find out the cause of pain and if medicines do not work a Surgical approach can be made..
MICROVASCULAR DECOMPRESSION, GAMA KNIFE
RADIOSURGERY OR BALLOON DECOMPRESSION are a few procedures that can be done to relieve pain in Trigeminal Neuralgia patients and the procedure can be decided depending upon the cause..
Hope this information helps..
Thanks and regards..
