I had a facial massage just over 5 months ago and my face is still extremely painful?

I was doing a beauty therapy course, which I had to quit because on September 28th 2010 I received a facial massage from a woman who was also a beauty student on the same course and the massage was extremely rough and vigorous. The next day my face down the left hand side was numb, as was my tongue and I thought she'd caused nerve damage. I went to my dr and she said it should wear off in a couple of months. It's over 5 months later! And I am getting worse pain now than I did initially.

The pain is in my temple on the left side, behind my ear, across my face, like just above the cheek and when I smile the only way I can describe it is it feels as though there's a cut across my face and it stings. I'm also getting numbness on the left side of my tongue as well as getting very bad migraines and the sight in the left eye is alot more blurry than the right.

I had to stop doing the course because of what had happened because I couldn't allow anyone to touch my face. And I wrote an email of complaint and I was just fobbed off and nothing was done about it. I have been waiting for 2 months for an MRI scan of my face and in the mean time, it's getting worse. I'm not sure what to do anymore. It's causing me to be depressed and I was advised to take Amtriptyline off my dr and this made the pain in my face subside but increased my depression and 6 weeks ago, I purposely took an overdose and ended up in hospital.

I am not sure what exactly is wrong with my face and what this person has caused?? But it feels like the muscle in my face is torn or something because I can't even smile or yawn without it being painful.
