Trigeminal neuralgia: Face pain or trigeminal neuralgia is due to an artery compressing the trigeminal nerve as it exits the brain stem. Atypical face pain or trigeminal neuralgia type 2 has a variety of causes that include tumors, tooth/jaw infections, multiple sclerosis and blood vessel malformations to name a few. Near your home (Cincinnati) are some of the very best neurosurgeons in the world at treating face pain

Myofascial pain: Most likely pain is coming from injury to fascia in neck/jaw/upper back. You may be able to find tender "trigger points" in the muscles of your neck, upper back, and jaw. They will cause any sensation you can describe (numbness to burning, aching, cramping, knife-like), and also be difficult to localize. www.blatmanhealthandwellness.com
