I'm a bit freaked out as I have feeling in my face as if I've had a local anaesthetic for dental work. My doctor and a maxillofacial surgeon both say this is probably tension causing TMJ because I have a lot of widespread nerve pain in my peripheries. I have had a brain MRI and lumbar puncture to rule out MS but nothing else showed up.

Is this numbness and tingle normal with TMJ or is something more sinister going on? It is more noticeable on left side of my face especially around my gums, lips and left nostril but spreads up into my left eye a bit.
