what KIND of pain is it ? does it Feel Sinus Related ? Nerve Pain ? Muscular ?

Since I have been here in East Texas, and In the Piney Woods, the Pollen has been HIGH...I am getting ALOT of Weird Fascial Pain..The Boney area around Both Eyes Feels HOT/Painfully Hot...I Know...Weird Huh ?? I Normally do Not have Allergy Symptoms to much..but have Never been Exposed to This Much...perhaps you are Reacting to Something ?

IDK Hon...Just Grasping at Straws here...if it does Not go away in a couple of days {Like MOST nerve Pain does}...then i would get in and get it Checked !!

Love, Hugs & Prayers that this Resolves for you Soon !! Did ur Rib Pain Subside ?

Yuck! for both of you. Dakota, do you take guaifenisin at all? It might help your sinuses. (Mucinex)

Cajun, could it be from TMJ? Have you had trouble with it in the past?

Hey, what about your trigeminal nerve? Check it out on Google. One branch of the nerve goes right where you're describing. There's a few members who suffer what they call trigeminal nerve attacks.

asilinc298 has a DS discussion about this at: http://www.dailystrength.org/c/Fibromyalgia/forum/9462647-ot-i-want-new

I don't know.....it feels kinda like muscle pain, but then it is also very sore to touch.....kinda like a tender point. But then sometimes I have a sharp, shooting pain in one spot, like an icepick going in!! ARGH!

Pollen here is going crazy too, Dakota, so it may be sinus related.....it is a tad better than early this morning, but still painful.

U, I read that post on the trigeminal nerve....it is that same area, so maybe that is aggravated.....I dunno, but it sure is painful....Gonna try some heat on it, then ice, and see what happens.

Dakota, yea the ribs cleared up as mysteriously as they started hurting, just like you said....too weird, huh?

Thanks guys, and HUGS from down south :)

Hope this goes away fast for you guys. We've had higher allergy counts here because of the rain we've had. So many people are suffering also. Stinks!

I was thinking trigeminal nerve as well - hope it goes away soon!

Glad the rib pain is gone - I have that "mysterious" symptom that comes and goes as well. I'm tracking mine to see if it's related to my hormonal cycles at all. I'm more or less finished with menopause but I find I still get moody once a month and eat everything that doesn't eat me (especially if it's chocolate!).

So...I'm tracking those symptoms along with the rib pain to see if they might be related.

When you say Ice Pick then I Think TN (Trigeminal Neuralgia}...it can hit Anywhere along the Nerve, at Anytime...and is BAD..Bury ur head in the corner of the couch kinda bad...Just Shoot me NOW Kinda Bad...

But the Pain Comes and Goes...Can last a few Seconds-to several Minutes, goes away, comes back...I Apply a Cool Cloth...this helps to Settle that Nerve down, Reduce Spasms, Inflammation.

Idk IF thats what you have going on or Not..just thought TN when I read Ice Pic type Pain.

I have that exact same pain and it has really been bothering me for the last 2 weeks. I think it is part of my TMJ problem.

It's a little scary to have pain that close to the temple region.

I had similar pain a couple weeks ago, but I'm pretty sure mine was sinus related. Mine felt a little better when I apply pressure for a minute or so, but if it hurts really bad when you touch it, then that might be a bad idea.

I wish I had something to add, but it would only be more of what has already been said. So all I can do is send hugs, prayers and support. If you have a muscle relaxer, you may want to try that or the the highest dosage of Ibuprofin you can take. If it is muscle related, then that may help.

Cajun....awe hun, I'm so sorry this pain is attacking you.
If it's TMJ, moist heat will help soothe it. If it's an inflamed nerve then ice will soothe it.

Does it hurt when you make any funny faces? (just seeing if you would try it)

I do hope it goes away soon. I don't know how one can 'stretch' their facial muscles much....but I suggest eating lots of chocolate for starts. Maybe a big left over Chocolate Easter bunny!

Or possibly the swaying of your mouth and nose as you sniff some fine wine. I'm thinking after a bottle or two, the pain will sorta not be there. Kinda like magic.

Keeping you in my prayers hun.

Thanks for all the support and tips, folks.....it is still a bit painful, but better.....who knows?

LOL, Wonder, I like the chocolate and wine idea, and yes, it does hurt when I make funny faces! :)

HUGS from down south :)

i had a weird pain on the top of my left foot. then i took this feldenkreiss class where we were moving around on the floor in a funny position and the pain went right away. just to say that sometimes movement can help with pain.

Hi Cajun wish there was something I could add to help but not fimilar with this type of pain... Upper cheek bones use to hurt with sinuses but don't sound the same as what you are saying. Hope you feel better soon.


take care gentle hugs
