Hey Y'all,

I have facial pain-similar to what I had when I had Bell's Palsy. It runs along the jawline, cheekbone and on the eyebrows. I also have intense pain that feels as if it's behind my eyeballs. I think the eyeball pain is due to light sensitivity.

If any body else has had any of these let me know. What is that from? Have any doctors mentioned their theories as to what might cause this?

Hi Meemer,

I have had eyeball and facial pain, the eyeball pain mostly comes wehn I have a bad headache and the facil stuff I used to think was TMJ before my lyme diagnosis.

This link on Cranial Nerves by Tincup, may help. http://flash.lymenet.org/ubb/Forum1/HTML/001163.html

Good luck to you.

Yep, I've had facial pain since 1994 when being diagnosed with TMJ. I think they meant to say you have lyme.

Have had 5 night guards but pain comes and goes alot.

My facial pain is mostly gone after one year of antibiotics and osteopathic cranial manipulations. I was told the face pain was cranial nerve involvement.
