Please help, does this sound like TN?
 
I woke up one morning about a month ago with the left side of my face numb. This was 2 days after my p.t. did some deep stretching where I felt sharp pulling in my face.

The numbness went away but left a strange sensation.

About a week later I woke up in the middle of the night with both my cheeks on fire. It only lasted about two minutes then dissapated.

Since then I have light burning/pins/needles/sunburnt feeling all in my face. More so on my left side than right.

But I also have it in my scalp, neck, shoulders, back, and even had it a little bit in my thighs.

Can anyone please, please tell me if they have EVER heard of TN presenting like this?

My dr says she thinks it could be TN or MS.

Please help:( I'm so scared.

It sounds like something nerve related. You do need to see a neuro ASAP as TN would only effect the face and your doctor suspects TN or MS.
