My grandfather has had it for years in his right cheek (facial). It causes him shooting pains when he talks, smiles, eats or moves his head. This pretty much wipes him out and he cant do a thing.
He had - I beleive a series of glycerin injections on the jawline that effectivley froze the relevant nerve. However the nerve regenerates within a year so a repeat process is required.

My mum had it for a couple of years, said it was almost as painful as childbirth. Turned out it was a brain tumour, not to worry you or anything!
