[|Human|] over the last 2 days I have had a constant steady pain on the right side of head/face, not throbbing or pulsing, just a dull steady pain.. from the ear along the upper cheek bone was severe pain, like I had been hit with something across my face, and at random, could be once every 30 min. to a couple of hrs. I would have a sharp piercing pain from where the upper and lower jaw bone meet, across my head.. would last maybe a second or less, but it would almost bring me to my knees... only thing that I could think that it would might feel like is maybe an ice pick from one side to the other and gone.. very direct and sharp... my balance would be a little off, and at times felt like I was almost scatterbrained.. any ideas as to what I might have been experiencing? its now the 3rd day, this morning was a little pain but has tapered off a great deal..
[|AI|]  Hi.  Your explanation seems to be consistent with a nerve related problem known as Trigeminal Neuralgia. Trigeminal neuralgia can occur due to disturbances associated with the fifth cranial nerve that is the Trigeminal nerve. You need to consult a neurophysician and get evaluated for the exact cause of the nerve induced pain as there can be some causes like the most common one is a large artery impinging over the nerve causing damage to the Myelin Sheath [a protective cover over the nerve] leading to severe electric shock like pain. Other causes are disorders like Multiple sclerosis, tumor compressing the nerve, physical trauma etc. The common Chat Doctor.
