What diagnosis of neuropathic pain could I have?

Neuralgias:

Trigeminal Neuralgia

  • Characterized by sudden, severe, electric shock-like pain in the distribution of the trigeminal nerve
     

Glossopharyngeal Neuralgia

  • Sharp, shooting pain in the back of the throat, tongue, tonsils, and ear due to irritation of the glossopharyngeal nerve 
     

Occipital Neuralgia

  • Piercing, throbbing, or electric-shock-like pain in the upper neck, back of the head, and behind the ears, typically due to irritation of the occipital nerves
     

Post-Herpetic Neuralgia

  • Persistent burning or shooting pain in the area affected by herpes zoster (shingles), commonly involving the trigeminal nerve

Burning Mouth Syndrome

  • Ongoing or recurrent burning sensation in the mouth without an obvious cause, often associated with altered taste and dry mouth

 

Atypical Facial Pain

  • Chronic facial pain that does not fit typical patterns of other facial pain syndromes, often involving a deep, aching pain

 

Eagle's Syndrome

  • Pain in the throat, face, or ear due to an elongated styloid process or calcified stylohyoid ligament impinging on surrounding structures

 

Neurogenic Thoracic Outlet Syndrome

  • Neuropathic pain resulting from compression of the brachial plexus nerves, potentially causing pain in the neck and face
