Yes, renny, attacks for me ramped up and down my right side but just loved to play around in my teeth.
A dull, heavy pain it is, no numbing, luckily.

Have you tried all of the non-med remedies people have thought up over time?

Try this

Hi Karen....Funny here, but my CH's "drip down" my face into my jaw and eventually to my chin......then disappear. This may sound stupid, but give gum chewing a try. I pop a piece in my mouth and chew it really hard and fast for a couple of minutes. Seems to take some of the pressure out of my jaw.....evens stops the CH every now and then.

I get the pain in my jaw as well and the pain intensifies when I push on my teeth. Guess that's why they are testing to see if I have TMJ as well as clusters. Maybe you should ask about that too. Just a thought

The yellow/orange nerve is the nerve that delivers CH pain...as you can see it runs right down into the upper and lower jaw...even to the teeth.

Thats your pain....OWE!!

renny............jonny probably right about this. That nerve is close to the teeth and will feel like it is IN the teeth. Do not let the dentist start pulling teeth or doing root canals "just to see" if it will stop the pain. Many people get the pain n the jaw/teeth.
