Hi guys,
I havent got a diagnosis yet but a few months ago I started getting pins and needles in my face every time I stood up, bend over, lay on stomach, pick kids up, etc. As well as tinnitus.
From December I now have an awful headache every time I do the same movements and now pretty much a headache all the time/nausea.
I have a load of scans on Monday but neuro said hes never come across this exact presentation before with the pins and needles and headache with movement. He has given a few ideas of things he thinks it could be such as arterial malformation or something in there that shouldnt be.
I just wondered if anyone had suffered with similar symptoms, especially which involved the Trigeminal Nerve,
Many thanks,
Hi and welcome to the online community
I haven't had the same symptoms as you but I noticed that you hadn't had any replies to your post yet. I typed 'trigeminal nerve' into the group's search facility but drew a blank I'm afraid.
It's natural to assume the worst but lots of problems are non-cancerous so let's hope that's the case with you.
Do come back and let everyone here know how your scans go today.
