no imposing what so ever. i would agree with some chiropractic work that might help release some of the tension from being in pain. also some therapy for muscle relaxation too. anticonvulsant drugs might help with pain and pain meds. be very aware of how your neck is when you sleep and at the computer. i am sure these things would aggravate it. blessings for pain free days jady

I have it & I am sorry you have it. Look at my drawings in my Photos section and you will see my drawing of my pain. I take Pamelor & Cymbalta & Trileptal to help w/ the pain. I still need opiates and I feel like I have narcolepsy. I will be back to give you more info.

Close Trigeminal Neuralgia
I don't have TN but I have been diagnosed with occipital neuralgia and there aqre no support groups out there for ON. I have been struggling with ON related migraines for 10 years and have daily pain and at least 1x per week it is debilitating.
Treatments
- Nerve Blocks Not Working
- The blo0ck itself worked for a couple of days but I had so much injection site pain it masked any relief the block provided
- Imitrex Working / Worked
- Used to treat ON related migraines. Works fairly well until it doesnt. If I use it too often it stops working. And I cannot work while on it.
