I have Trigimenal Neuralgia. The Maxillary Branch.  I have a upper denture and my pain is in the right side of my gums. I am not having the sudden shock like pain of the past, but my gums are like they have been burnt. It hurts worse if I lean over to the right. I feel like this is the Neuralgia, but am not sure. I find when these attacks happen they last up to 2weeks. The gums look like the skin has been severely blistered and its horrible pain to touch the gum when it hits. Is this really Neuralgia or something else? I have had it for about 7years and its only on the right side. Started off feeling like horrible shocks and sometimes like abscessed tooth.
HiT hanks for the query. Well it looks like some nerve related problem only. But in case if the gums become blistered then it can be a viral infiltration of the nerve. As it is a chronic condition you should consult an Oral Physician or an Oral Surgeon and get evaluated. An MRI SCAN can be done to rule out the exact cause of the symptoms and treatment can be done according to the diagnosis. If it is nerve related pain then neurotic painkillers like Carbamazipine, Gabapentin etc. can be advised. If it is due to viral Infection then antiviral medication can help Hope this helps Regards
