First major relapse since MVD surgery

In 2018 i got diagnosed bilateral TN. Both typical and atypical as well as exploding head syndrome. In 2020 i had mvd on my left side worked great this was after maxing out all the carbamezapine etc i could tolerate. gets 80-90% relief on that side. 2026 is here and now my right side is acting up and everything i learned is failing. I learned that neurofen PE would break the breakthrough pain. Not tonight. I took 8hr brufen, 2 panadol and 2 50mg tramadol and 2x 10mg sudafed to shrink the blood vesselsand get them off the nerve. Nothing is working. I dont have access to carbamezapine type meds. Tonight i cant break the breakthrough pain and going to hospital is not an option as ive had all the meds they would give me and more would cause contra-indications. Hospital is alson2hrs away and a 4hr+ wait in the ER.

Are there any pressure points or something i haven't thought of to break through the breakthrough pain. I got the pain down from 10/10 to 7-8/10 i cant sleep i have work tomorrow and cant have the day off. Is there Anything i can do for relief?
