Q: Is anyone familiar with migraine pain in the face under the eye?
Annette,
Oh, yes! During a Migraine attack, the trigeminal nerve (TN) becomes inflamed. The TN has three branches. One runs just above the eyebrows, one runs under the eyes - near the sinuses, and the third runs along the lower jaw. That's why Migraines can cause pain around the eyes, ears, sinsuses, and teeth.
To see an illustration of the location of the TN, see Pathways of Migraine.
Hope this helps!
Teri
