Guest guest Posted August 25, 2005 Report Share Posted August 25, 2005 Hi there! This must be a different nerve pain than what a small subset of MS patients get called trigeminal neuralgia (see http://www.tna-support.org/ for more if you're interested), which I have sadly also been experiencing in recent years. I am currently considering surgery to stop it for good, if the pain gets really bad again -- but a friend warns me the surgery is not effective in some cases, and his came back even worse than before afterwards, which makes me hesitate. In me, the pain comes from a nerve extending down the side of my nose and into my mouth and teeth, which means chewing is sometimes very painful. In me, the condition comes and goes, and I'm wondering if it's related to your 'Lhermittes sign' condition(http://www.medhelp.org/forums/neuro/archive/9502.html) Rae ========= hi , it's that shocking/electric feeling someone with ms might feel from the neck and when head is put forward..the feeling goes down spine to extremities > I do not know but I have a feeling that you don't want to know either.> > Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
