Thankyou x
Hi, I had neuralgia on the left side of my face and around my right eye 2 years ago and it comes and goes occassionally. It feels for me like a burning tingling sensation. It is extremely painful to touch. I haven’t had any shooting pains through it though.

You have the dreaded trigeminal neuralgia. It’s a dreadful pain – you have my complete sympathy.
Your GP should be able to prescribe medication that will help.
Tegretol and Gabapentin are two common ones. It may take a little time to get the dosage right and to get over initial side effects but they will give you some relief.
