Surgery one answer for stabbing face pain
DR. DONOHUE
DEAR DR. DONOHUE: I am a facial pain sufferer. I suffer from trigeminal neuralgia. The slightest breeze on my face triggers excruciating pain. I had been on carbamazepine, but I had to stop taking it because it altered my thoughts and dreams. Now I take Tylenol. The pain is indescribable. What specialty doctor should I see? Please send any information you may have. — M.S.
