Does anyone in the group have facial pain? Mine usually is on the right side. I have burning, headache and goes down my throat, ears ringing.

I have constant headaches and pain in my face. My face also goes numb around my nose and mouth and I get tingling sensations. My rheumy believes this is all nerve related. The neurologist only suggested migraine medicine. I get constipated from most meds so I take and do nothing. Have you found anything that relieves it?

Also, do you check your blood pressure? Also sounds like possible signs of high blood pressure.

I get it from sinus area to constant earaches. Painful ears that nothing seems to help. also looking for any suggestions.

the migraines were helped by a med called Midrin (prescription) ONLY thing that has helped after 40 years of different meds but im at a loss for this earache thing!

My physician put me on Lyrica, flexural and tramadol. That seems to relieve some of the pain.

Maybe you should see an ENT and also be evaluated for TMJ by a knowledgeable dentist. Take care.

YES I HAVE IT TOO, THE FACIAL PAIN IS NOW BETTER, BUT THE RINGING IN THE EARS AND MIGRAINE ARE BAD, WITH ME NOISE TRIGGERS THE MIGRAINES AND RINGING, AGGRAVETES THE FIBRO, TRY TO REST AND SEE WHAT MAKES IT WORSE..

I too have facial pain. Mine has been diagnosed as trigeminal neuralgia. It is always on the left side of my face. I too get numbing and today it is my chin that is numb. Most of my pain is in my eye area.
