Trigeminal Neuralgia
"Well, the pain on the nerve goes away pretty quickly after taking 150 mg of Trileptal, which I just started taking this year, because when I was told that I had trigeminal neuralgia last year, I didn&#039;t find out until the pain was almost over, but the medicine only lasts about 4 hours or so.  At first, I got a headache, which didn&#039;t last too long, so I didn&#039;t take anything for the headache.  What concerns me the most is that lately I have been getting pain on my ankles the next day after doing a 45 min kickboxing work-out and it&#039;s not going away, which I never had before. Today for the first time in my life I had a terrible pain on my pelvis that I couldn&#039;t hardly walk .  Hopefully the pain goes away soon, and I won&#039;t have to take anything, &#039;until next year&#039;!"
