Trigeminal Neuralgia:

Mark Schnitzer, M.D.
A condition marked by brief attacks of severe pain in the trigeminal nerve. It usually occur in people age 50 or more and women are more affected than men. 
Its symptoms are characterized by a shooting pain sensation around the lips, eyes, nose, jaw and other areas where the trigeminal nerve is found. 

Back Pain:

Kenneth P Burres, M.D.
Often the cause of back pain is a disc problem in the spine. Disc problems occur in the neck, mid back, and lower back. The symptoms can be painful, disabling, frustrating, and financially ruinous. If the low back pain continues more than a day or you have other symptoms such as pain down the leg, numbness down the leg, leg tingling, a weak foot, or difficulty walking or urinating, it is wise to see a specialist.
