Signs and Symptoms
What does trigeminal neuralgia feel like?
Trigeminal neuralgia is extreme facial pain. As previously mentioned, trigeminal neuralgic pain is typically caused by a vein or artery that is putting pressure on the nerve. The pain often occurs in repeated short bursts lasting a few seconds each but can last more than a minute. It is described as: zapping, shooting, stabbing, lightning-burst, and excruciating. The pain can be felt anywhere from the forehead to the jaw but is most often felt in the cheek alongside the nose or in the jaw on one side of the face. It can be so severe that is will cause the person to cry out, wince and/or stop whatever it is they are doing.
How does the pain start?
The affected area of the face becomes extremely sensitive with such minor stimulation. This minor stimulation includes such triggers as: a light breeze, cold temperature, water from a shower, washing the face, shaving, or even eating. The pain can occur spontaneously but is often triggered by touching certain 'trigger spots' on the face, lips, or tongue.
How long does it last?
Trigeminal neuralgic pain usually lasts only seconds but can last up to two minutes and can occur more than 100 times in a day. The pain will resolve on its own, but reoccur often. Even after being pain-free for an extended period of time, the pain could potentially return if a more permanent solution is tried.
