Facial/ Head Pain on One side

[kathycook]

I am having facial pain on the right side. Pain includes right cheek bone and brow and upper

forehead on rt side which sometimes painful "lumps" will appear and go away within week, right

ear, and stabbing pain in right eye which sometimes becomes red and feels like something is in it,

right upper

teeth which throbs in pain. It is very difficult to rest and sleep. I would take Tylenol PM to

sleep but lately, this has not been helping at all. Also, the right side of top of head very painful.

It is very tender to touch and is very lumpy. Sometimes when I apply light pressure to these

lumpy areas, there is a "pop" in right nostril. Right side of back of neck is painful and stiff. At times
when I

turn my head, my right ear "pop". At times, there is pain in right shoulder blade. I have slight vague

headaches, it is mostly a constant pain in head and face.

Other symptons would be weakness, brainfog, hard to focus visually and mentally, sleeping

difficulty.Any ideas what these symptoms are? What type of doctor is recommended to see? Family doctor? ENT? Neurologist? ETC? Any help would be appreciated.

Have you had any fever and do you have teeth that could be infected etc., How long have you had these symptoms?

Thank you Purple98Lady for responding.

After posting this question, I went to the ER that night.
.
They did a CT scan and SED blood rate. From this, I was told that there is no infection or bleeding in the brain or under the skull. conclusion? " A headache". I still have the symptoms but I was prescribed Phrenilin for the pain.

No fever...my temperature has been a constant 99 degrees F.
Right now I am going thru some sinus issues...btw, the ct scan showed no concern with my sinus.


I do have a tooth in the lower back bottom that the filling came out about 1 1/2 ago. It is just now bothering me. But the actual tooth pain I have is the upper back.

All-in-all, the symptoms of this intensity has been for about a week.

The Phrenilin really hasn't touched the issue.

I am in the process of looking for a dentist. I have no health insurance so I am hoping and praying that I find a dentist with a free or reduced fee.

I am still concerned with the painful lumps in my head. It is still tender and I am unable to comb my hair because of this.

Any suggestions?

Thanking you in advance.

I'm glad you went to the ER and had the blood work and CT finding no bleeds, no infection. Maybe the dentist is next for the jaw pain etc. Many dentist have a payment plan now where you can pay a set amount each month. Of course you have to have a credit history to apply. The lumps would bother me also. Did the ER even address these lumps? I'm hoping your just having pain from some dental issue, the lumps need to be addressed by a GP or even a neurologist incase they are on nerves etc. Please let us know here on the forum your direction of care and your outcome and progress. I hope you find some relief soon.
