Metal in Mouth Causes Trigeminal Neuralgia

Quote:
CHICAGO – The teenager said the stabbing pains in her face felt like electrical shocks that lasted 10 to 30 seconds and struck 20 to 30 times a day.
 
Her doctors diagnosed trigeminal neuralgia, a nerve disorder sometimes called "suicide disease" because of the excruciating and dispiriting pain it causes.
 
Doctors tried painkillers, then stronger medication, but in the end, a cure proved more simple: The young woman removed the metal stud from her pierced tongue.
 
Two days later her pain vanished.

More evidence that any injury or disturbance around the mouth, jaw, or sinuses can set up a neural circuit that leads to problems.

What about metal fillings?  I wonder if that has any correlation. Undecided

Maybe fillings are occasionally a contributor - not worth taking them out for that possibility. Just don't chew on foil! And make sure that you have a good dentist, so that when your fillings act like a radio reciever, it is tuned to a station that you like.  
 
I don't have many fillings, just a deviated septum, chronic sinus problems, and TMJ.

This also amazingly cured the nagging lisp that she had developed around the same time of the installation of the metal stud in her tongue...........

Maybe she had been misdiagnosed and has just gone into remission Undecided
 
I wonder what would happen if she put the stud back in Roll Eyes

Here's what confuses me...
even if the stud is out, the hole is still there. Wouldn't that be what irritated the nerve?

I never could figure out why people wanted to get oral/facial hardware.  Some things just weren't supposed to be pierced!

I would think its the constant friction of the stud itself in upper  and lower part of the mouth.  There are connections to cranial nerves in those regions.

No I was one of the lucky ones that my tongue did not swell. I had to have teh shop order a shorter rod for the stud because they where all too long.  So I never lisped.  The only way people knew my tongue was pierced was if they where sitting and I was standing and talking to them, they would see a little bit of metal.  
 
But I changed jobs and the mormons that I went to work for where too conservative for that, and I had to take it out.
