Possibly: Get an evaluation as it may be TMJ, or an underlying herpes zoster infection affecting you. A good exam should help determine the possible causes and lead to a possible treatment. Best wishes.

Neuritic condition: Your symptoms sound consistent with some form of neuritis of the 5th cranial nerve (trigeminal) although I cannot exclude TMJ as a possible contributor to this problem. Have you had a Panorex done yet just to make sure that dental condition is not to blame. I've seen bad caries and abscessed teeth which were otherwise not symptomatic cause a world of neurologic looking disease that wasn't

Multiple pain: This cannot be diagnosed over the internet. You need to have a thorough clinical exam with x-rays. Call your dentist or an oral surgeon for an examination.

Perhaps: TMJ problems can have all these symptoms. So can other problems. I would start with an exam by an oral surgeon. if TMJ is the problem, see a TMJ expert. Any dentist can be a TMJ expert with the proper training and experience. Most commonly, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and orofacial pain specialists. Ask your MD, your dentist and your dental society for referrals.
