    I also want to add that symptoms are worse when sitting or laying in bed than walking or standing straight on me feet.

    Maybe he just want to make some money…anyway I have not found any response to my pain problems, and depression is getting bigger and bigger each day.

    The strange things about cervical issues related with facial pain. I talked with 2 ladies in the last 2 weeks. One of them has a fussed surgery at c4-c5 and right after the surgery she began feeling face pain like trigeminal neuralgia…and the second lady she had a disc replacement surgery at c5-c6 and she began having facial pain too…how is this possible? the second lady told me that the face pain are starting to begin more and more bearable after PT. I am going to visit a pain clinic in the next few weeks.

    I’ve just visited another neurosurgeon today, and he is not recommending me surgery right now and he told me that I should try some ozone therapy at the beginning and if this is not working, i should try epidural injections. Surgery should be the last option he said to me. he told me that I need to wear some soft collar in order to make to curve of the cervical spine back as mine is almost straight. I don’t know what is causing the facial pain, but my muscles from back of my neck hurts and when I am stretching them I feel pain in my ear and nose so…somehow the pain from neck muscles are related to pain in the ears and nose. that’s so strange.
    also…at night time the facial pain is disappearing.

    Hello Dr. Corenman. I emailed my MRI to another neurosurgeon and he told me that I have multiple herniated discs disease with radicular conflict and that radiologist report is not correct. These opionions are driving me crazy. Tomorrow I’ll be looking to a local opinion of another neurosurgeon with a lot of experience, as far as I know he even make implants with prodisc-c. I’ll see what he is going to advice me. Anyway… I have been to a wedding this weekend even if I was in pain and bad mood, and at night I stayed to talk with some guys outside even if it was a little bit cold. When I got home, my eyes, ears and neck where hurting like hell…so now I am pretty sure that the cold is making my inflamation so bad. Also, when I was driving back home I felt stabbing pain in my arms, no numbness, just stabbing pain that came and go down to my wrist.

    One last detail doctor Corenman. I am thinking that my facial pain could be triggered also by some dental work so I need to check this too, but sometimes I am thinking that the pain is so related with neck and shoulder pain, and all started together, so I think that somehow, they are all connected. I have read some cases when some facial pain occured because of cervical herniation touching the root of trigimen nerve in the spine at some level of c5-c6 or c3-c4, also I have read about cervicogenic headache that involves facial pain too. Did you had in your experience any patient that had cervical problem that involved some facial pain? Also…When I had my brain MRI done, I found out that I have a dental cyst that put pressure in one of maxilarry sinus. The radiologist told me that the pain is not from there, but really don;t what to think anymore.

    So i’ve been to neurologist and even if he is not a specialist looking at the MRI, she told me that the problem is that I have an inflammation that is starting from cervical area. She gave some treatment to try for a month like gabapentin and some muscle relaxant. looking at these 2 abnormalities on the images, do you think it’s worth trying the opinion of a neurosurgeon?

    Thank you for your response. I’m going to see a neurologist tomorrow. I had a lot of blood tests done, and the majority of them were good. I was thinking that the cervical spine is the problem because most of the pain is around the neck and somehow connected to the neck region. I was thinking at Lyme disease, but have seen that there wasn’t any demyelination process on mri, so I was thinking this is not the case.
    I made an appointment with a neurosurgeon maybe I was thinking that I can get some epidural injections to see if i;m getting some pain relief. do you think it;s a good idea?
