Facial Pain

Introduction

Facial pain can be a symptom of a musculoskeletal problem or nerve related problem. Dr. G. Ram Mohan is the best doctor for facial pain in Himayatnagar.

What are the musculoskeltal causes of facial pain?

  • TMJ (tempromandibular joint) disorders(jaw pain): Strain and sprains of muscles, ligaments, and tendons around the TMJ can be debilitating. Sometimes the TMJ joint itself can be the cause of pain
  • Myofascial pain syndrome: Trigger points in the fascia(tissue surrounding muscle) and muscles of the face, especially the masseter muscle, can cause excruciating pain.
  • Cervical spondylosis (cervical osteoarthritis) is neck arthritis, which is usually an age-related condition that affects the joints, discs and ligaments of the neck. Spine problems in this area can cause face and or head pain.

What are nerve related causes of facial pain?

Chronic pain in and around the face and head usually has some form of nerve pain involvement. Make an appointment with chronic pain specialist in Himayatnagar for facial pain treatment. Nerve pain in the face, neck and head might include:

  • Trigeminal neuralgia:this is common and can be excruciatingly painful. People experience shock-like pain in one side of the face that usually last seconds to minutes.
  • Glossopharyngeal neuralgia: This condition causes pain in the back of the throat, tongue and ear. Attacks of these electric shock-like pains can be triggered by swallowing or can occur without warning. This neuralgia can be confused with trigeminal neuralgia.
  • Tooth pain (odontalgia). Pain in the orofacial region is very common and tooth-related pain is the usual cause.
  • Shingles symptoms include a painful rash caused by the varicella-zoster virus (chickenpox). The rash develops into itchy blisters, usually on one side of the body, either on the face, chest, back, abdomen or pelvis. Shingles on the head, scalp, face, or in the eye can be debilitating.
  • Post herpetic neuralgia can sometimes follow shingles. Post herpetic neuralgia affects nerves and skin, and causes a severe burning pain that lasts long after the shingles rash and blisters disappear.
  • Occipital neuralgia is a condition where the occipital nerves become inflamed or injured. These nerves run from the upper part of the spine to the scalp. Other nerves in the area are the lesser occipital nerves and the third occipital nerves. Pain is usually felt in the back of the head or the base of the skull.
  • Pain after a stroke is a form of nerve pain. This can also be called post-stroke pain or central neuropathic pain.
  • Supraorbital neuralgia, ocular or optical neuralgia, facial neuralgia, and scalp neuralgia.
