Default TN or MS symptom?

I've got Atypical Trigeminal Neuralgia, mostly on my right side. Its been acting up fairly severely in my first year since being Dx'd w/MS, luckily reacts well when I'm on steroids, etc., and has been pretty quiet the last few weeks. However, here's something new: The same type of severe burning ice pain I get in my ear is now occurring at the corners of my mouth. Usually its not too bad, unless I open my mouth, sometimes ear pain accompanies, sometimes not. One time it felt like there was a knife from one ear straight through my head to the other ear, and passing through the corners of my mouth. (I felt kind of like the Joker looked.)

Related? Or is this an MS thing? Or something else? Just trying to gauge whether I need to see my neuro or not.
