Sent to Health Experts December 14 02:00 PM

over the past year i have had very strong pains in my jaws and cheek bones. nuts almonds and sesame seeds do contribute to some of the pain in my face. but after avoiding these things the pain is starting to worsen. i have also had a cyst cut out of my head just under the scalp, two floaters in my vision and blured vision on occasion. the pain in my face feels as if i had been hit very hard and the bones almost hurt like broken bones. my jaws feel stiff tight and out of alignment. i read some where that some pain like this is controlled by seziure meds, i also have seziures and have tried taking extra to controll the pain with little relief, i have also taken pain killer from time to time so i could function at work but those dont help very much either please help i feel like i am going crazy and i cant tale the pain much longer

Female, Age: 28, Alabama

Hi,
You may have a severe form of Temporo - Mandibular Joint dysfunction, have you been evaluated for this condition?
Use of a seizure med to control pain is generally done in cases of nerve related pain (like trigeminal neuralgia) and this would need a detailed neurological evaluation to find the cause.
Get the same done after confirming from a dentist that your TMJ is not the cause of the problem,
regards
Dr. Gupta
