Guest you have to be joking...
We are not taking illicit drugs...we are suffering.
I am presently in one of these states at present burning at the back of both eyes like there is a fire there. I have often had the scalding up the nostril, or two nostrils, eye pain from hell, ditto ear pain.
As if we are so dumb to be trashing our systems with illicit drugs!!!
I eat healthily, no gluten, careful with foods, no additives, I am allergic to house dust/ mites, to grass seeds & pollents etc. etc.. It is a nightmare when these issues arise.

If I get burning in my left nostril, it is annoying and uncomfortable. I have found a small dose of Xanax (anti-anxiety) does help some. If I get burning in my right nostril, I know a cluster headache is coming (heaven forbid, they are excruciatingly painful). Honestly, traditional MD's seem clueless, but my acupuncturist (who is a doctor of Chinese medicine) has been a Godsend. If you go to an acupuncturist, be sure they have good reviews. Some of them have no clue what they're doing.

I don't want to give anyone false hope, but I would like to share what worked for me.

Since I was a teenager (I'm 42 now) I've had sinusitis a handful of times. While few and far between, these have been intensely painful experiences for which I have fantasized about cutting out the part of my head that feels like it is on fire. My first case of sinusitis was misdiagnosed by a pharmacist (hooray!) and I suffered in agony for days and days. Since my bouts of sinusitis were diagnosed by a real doctor, however, a course of antibiotics has always cleared it up.

That was, until recently. I could feel a weird pseudo-painful pressure on the top-left inside of my nose. I recognised it immediately as the onset of sinusitis, but it never kicked over. Then I caught a cold. Just as I was pulling out of that, the sinusitis exploded.

The unusual thing about this bout was that while it was never quite as painful as my head-slicing bouts in the past, it never looked like leaving. I took a course of antibiotics, but after my last tablet I could still feel it in there. Less intense, for sure, but merely in the background ready to re-launch.

And it did. I was at work in a meeting when it decided to inflame. I took a couple of headache pills but to no avail. In desperation I started to massage the top-left outside of my nose with my left thumb... Boom. The pain vanished.

Now I don't know if I soothed a nerve or pushed out a piece of debris, but the pain hasn't returned. Even today (about a week later) I continue to massage my nose with a firm swirl of my thumb in the hope that the pain doesn't return, and so far it hasn't.

As I said at the start of this post, I don't want to give anyone false hope. I am sharing what worked for me on the slight chance it works for you too.

I see people come and go on this forum, so I made a community on Facebook so we can gather and talk to each other about investigations etc. on this same issue we face. We do need to keep in touch, guys!!

Search on Facebook "Nose Pain Community" It's only me in the group right now but I've put my CTs, MRIs in there, and my experience with this in the past years, maybe there's something helpful for you too.
I think if we gather at least 3-4 people in there we can go a lot further with this.

Neuralgia makes me entire head and neck burn like everyone is describing. It was an ear specialist who first diagnosed the burning as not an infection after he put camera's down both ears. That was a few years ago. I have since learned I have Dystonia which is causing my neuralgia. My entire head and neck from the shoulders up feels like my head is the top of a burning match. It gets worse during storms and barometric pressure changes. The severe burning is completely disabling and I can not function. I stay in bed until it subsides, sometimes in a few days, sometimes it lasts a few weeks. My Primary Care Doc was just giving me antibiotics like I had a sinus infection. He had no idea and truthfully? He didn't care at all. Treated me like I was crazy or making it up. The burning was so maddening I finally said I need to see an ear specialist, and that's who diagnosed it as neuralgia and told me and that antibiotics don't help that. Sadly, Dystonia has no cure. My nose on left is burning badly this morning yet both sides burn, ears burn, headache, and it all feels dry an burning. There is no congestion, it's so burning hot all the time I take re-usable blue rubber ice packs to cool my head, neck, face, nose, etc. If you are suffering neuralgia and you have not researched more about Dystonia. I suggest you look into this condition. Hope this helps someone. Try to stay calm and muscle through, flare ups make life very difficult, yet remember, they do subside and this too shall pass.

Yes I did recently, maybe about 1.5-2 weeks ago. And you know after snorting it, you will struggle with a stuffy (sometimes bloody) nose. I didn't get this pain until at least a week after doing it. It drives me crazy.

Hi there, this sounds very much like my story. Can anyone offer insight? I started having problems with my left sinus a while ago, in October it tuned out an old root canal tooth caused an infection and I had the tooth out. The pain and sinus congestion persevered and about a week after the dental surgery, after doing a steam to relieve congestion, I developed severe burning pain in my head and face- mum called an ambulance, I got something to calm the nerves and an antihistamine and forgot about it for a bit. However, since then I've become very sensitive to change in smell temperature and my nose sort of hurt when I was breathing in air. I haven't thought much about this, because I always had quite dry and painful nose in Winter. Fast forward ENT put me on two weeks of doxycycline, nasal steroids, antihistamines, sinupret which all didn't help. At Christmas, having ad eaten a spicy soup, my nose seized up. After Christmas, due to stomach issues I stopped sinupret and the hell broke loose. My nose sinuses and head seize up in dry burning pain- it's as if someone poured acid in my face. I can feel it in my ears, nose, maxillary frontal sinuses and all around my head. I sometimes have good days where I feel "almost normal" and then it gets worse again. Doctor put me on Gabapentin to relieve the pain and it also helps a bit with the spasm. My whole face and teeth hurt. I have no energy left in me. Two weeks ago, I was in so much pain, I thought that killing myself would be easy in comparison to the pain I feel now.

Sounds like your partner may be suffering from zoster sine
which is a form of shingles that lacks any visual signifiers.

I had the axact symptoms explained in this thread and first week was like breathing fire from one nostril. It came after having sex with my gf and worsened everytime I went to the gym so I think something has been damaged internally in the nose with too much pressure.It's similiar to sinuosities but it's not it, since typical symptom of sinuosities is wet nose but my nose was tremendously dry and I had a light pain in the back of the head. I read that some users have had this condition for years and it was horrible to read it first week, but mine lasted for 2 months. I want reassure all people which got it recently that it can go away like in my case. What I did was to avoid strong efforts and stress, avoid to breath from the nostril the first week(with help of a piece of cotton) and quit smoking. Hope everyone will feel better soon.
