I don't have sjogrens syndrome but a lot of the problems. they call in atypical face pain. I was hit in the face by left eye and did not realize my nose broke and have been sick ever since dec 2013. 6 yrs is long enough every dr just takes 15 minutes takes his pay and sends me away with no thought of how to handle the excruciating pain.

I am trying to take classes to not feel the pain but in my face unless I stay busy every waking hour I don't hurt quite as much.

Nerve pain is the worst! I was on a pain med that made me stupid. After failed traditional treatment, I successfully treated mine with yoga, walking (weight-bearing exercise) and chiropractic care. But mine could be pinned to specific areas. I believe it can help in general. Probably can't hurt.

I also have an inversion table which takes a bit of pressure off my spine, stretches it out. Maybe acupuncture?

I still go to the chiropractor and take gentle yoga classes several years later.

Not what you're looking for?
