Ouch pain in face

[rowanwitch]

Over last 36 hours or so developed a really awful pain in face

Right side
comes in the form of a really sharp 'nerve' type pain that lasts a few seconds radiating from a point somewhere near my ear but goes out in a 'starburst pattern to under my eye the front right side of my scalp into my cheek and upper jaw area. the bursts sometimes one offs but mostly in groups over 5-10 minutes rarely more the 30 mins apart. at the moment pretty much damped down with paracetamol/dihydrocodeine and ibuprofen which have taken the sharpness away

I haven't made appt at gP as hoping it will settle

Teeth are fine, no evidence for ear infection that I can identify.

First and worrying though was TN

slap on wrist coming rowan's way when redman meets up with her.....kiss and make up is always fun - if you are up for it, so to speak.

Hope it settles down, rowan.....
