Neuralgia del trigémino: dolor punzante intenso que golpea la cara como un rayo instantáneo.

While brushing my teeth, an unbearable pain, like an electric shock, strikes my left cheek. The dentist said there was no problem with the tooth.

This picture is a classic symptom of Trigeminal Neuralgia. It is the triggering of the 5th cranial nerve, the trigeminal nerve, due to vascular pressure. Normal painkillers do not help; Neuropathic drugs (carbamazepine, etc.) prescribed by the neurologist completely relieve the pain.
