Patient: Sometimes it hurts and sometimes it doesn’t. When it hurts, it kills me. At first I thought it was a toothache, but the way my mother hurts is like a toothache. The pain started in June or July last year, and the worst pain was in February or March this year. I had one pain in March 2003, but then I took carbamazepine and it stopped hurting! Only in June and July of last year, I started to have pain from time to time. I had acupuncture treatment at a local hospital, and it stayed pain-free for a few months. I want to know how to get a good treatment.
