A member asked:

Pain started in ear now hurts in ear, jaw, teeth, neck, cheek, head on one side. hurts same side when swallow. trigeminal neuralgia? possibilities?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Trigeminal anatomy: True trigeminal neuralgia is a sudden intense pain over a portion of the face lasting a few seconds at most, and likely immobilizing the victim. Your description suggests a different process, perhaps a TMJ, or dental issue such as an abscessed tooth. Start with your dentist first, and see if you can find answers.
