I was diagnosed with rigeminal neuralgia and it was a misdiagnoses. Not that yours is. Pain is not OK and the atmosphere surrounding treatment has changed dramatically in just the last 6 months. Settle for nothing less than experimentation from your doctor until you come up with the treatment plan that works. Doctors are starting to get over their fear of prescribing pain meds. There has a been a great upsurge of doctors knowing the difference between dependency, sometimes and sad but necessary adjunt to pain sufferers, and addiction, those who would rob or kill to feed an illegal habit.
