so i had my appt w a maxillofacial surgeon today which. i don't feel this needs any backstory y'all know what's up w me at this point probably. but uh good news: there's nothing anatomically wrong w my jaw bad news: there's nothing anatomically wrong w my jaw i went in to see if i had TMD which would have shown something anatomically wrong w my jaw in that scan. also TMD is the least bad thing i could've had so. that's cool. apparently my range of motion was too good (i can't imagine having any worse than i currently have), certain places on my face weren't tender enough, my facial numbness along the 2nd and 3rd branches of the trigeminal nerve, and the fact i've been wearing a TMD splint for 1 yr w/o any improvements were all not right for a TMD diagnosis.
so we're working w trigeminal neuralgia which is what i thought i had to begin w.
guess who needs to get an MRI done to see if he has a tumor pressing on his trigeminal nerve

what's the next step after the MRI then? idk honestly i think we need to determine if it's a tumor or not first it could also be a cyst or a blood vessel touching the nerve. i assume that would also show up on an MRI. but a tumor would be the worst thing to have so i think that's the priority for now

Well I hope it's not a tumor! yeah that's kind of the worst-case scenario so i'm hoping not too

boy howdy not to be a negative nancy but 3 weeks ago during the oral cancer screening part of dental cleaning, the dentist noticed a lesion on my tongue. it's still there. so guess who has to go back to the oral surgeon to see if i have a tumor or a cyst or whatever on his tongue now too :)) everything's great !!!
