Hi there, my neurologist believes I have ATN too. My pain started off with a shocking, electric like feeling along the gums of the upper left side. Only on the inside near the back molar though. I saw numerous doctors who couldn't diagnose it. About 4 months into the pain, I saw an oral surgeon who biopsied the area. Since that time, the shocking pain when talking subsided and has become dull. Now, the area hurts when touched. It has a tender, soreness feeling to it. It's so weird haha. I am just curious. What pain do you feel along the gum line? Is it on the outside or inside of the gums? What triggers your pain? I hope you are all better!
