Default Awaiting a Neurologist appointment

Hi all, this is my first post.

I'm 19 year old and I live in Canada.
I haven't been officially diagnosed with TN, but I am really suspicious of it.
For the last 5 week, I dealt with a constant pain in the face. That pain is localized below my lower tooth, close to my cheek and near my temple. I am presently on 4mg dilaudid every 4 hours and It doesn't help the pain very much. I have all the symptoms of TN except one. My pain doesn't come in "jolts" but rather constantly. It moves in those 3 area on a daily basis. I did some research on TN and it is very scary...

Since I live in Canada, I am lucky to have a free health system but on the other side, waiting list for specialists are long, so are the waiting list for MRI. (about2 months for specialist, 4 months for a MRI).

My question is this: do you think that looks like TN or something else?

Thanks
