I agree! TN will drop you to your knees, literally. If they could use it as a form of interrogation it would work every time!! It feels like someone is ripping your muscles and nerves right off of your head when it is at its worst. :eek: Nothing like sinus.

The TN that I have experienced is nothing like sinus discomfort. How can I put it . . .if I ever, ever call a doctor during non working hours (oh heck, I hate calling during business hours. LOL) something is wrong. When I had TN, I called on a Saturday. It was painful, definitely nerve as well as you could see the muscles in my face in spasms. I couldn't eat, drink, talk, or really do anything that involved the face. Very different than sinus issues that I have experienced.

Yes, I also don't think isn't TN. It's NOT very painful. The biggest thing is my checks feel "heavy" and the front part of my jaw hurts and the whole face is like, achy I guess.

The stress you are experencing right now may be causing you to to clinch your teeth without you realizing it. I do the same thing and have aching in the same area you are talking about.
I've had to learn to relax my jaw and face. Maybe you've been smiling too much!:D

:D Ouch, it really hurts to smile. Don't worry I haven't do that too much :D ouch.

I don't think I'm clinching my teeth and if I do it doesn't hurt or even feel like it's the same muscles that are hurting. And I don't have all this Stress that I keep being told I have. :confused:

The longer this goes on the more I'm thinking it's just sinus. :rolleyes:

I was clinching my teeth at night and didn't know it. My dentist found it and gave me an appliance to wear. I oringinally thought it was TMJ, but it wasn't. Just clinched teeth.
I was under a lot of stress going through the process of finding out what was going on with my health. Knowing I had to see more doctors and have more tests....that was stressful to me. Knowing there IS something wrong with you but not knowing what it is and being told there is nothing:eek:....THAT is stressful.
