My symptoms started about 10 days ago and consist of right jaw pain that is present 24 hours/day. I might sleep for 3 or 4 hours and then I wake up with the pain. The pain is dull and deep and is about a 6 or 7 on a 10 point scale. The triggers are talking or swallowing and if I do those I will have an increase in pain for a few hours or more. They can't get me in for an MRI for 3 weeks. My symptoms don't seem to be that of classic TN but possibly more closely related to the atypical TN.

Does anyone have any thoughts? I can't see how people live with pain like this. Thanks.
