so you must live somewhat close to where i live if you went to mayo...i had my treatment done at u of m in minneapolis. I had a great doctor there. But I have since moved to fergus falls MN, which is 3.5 to 4 hours west of u of m on 94. Just wanted a change in scenery! I hope that it is just neurological.
But even if it is just what that ENT said, are they going to do anything about it? My dad had surgery for his TMJ. And if yours is so bad that it is causing facial swelling and what not, wouldn't you think they would do something about it? I sure hope so.
Nerve pain can be a big pain in the butt! Also, minds like to play some pretty nasty tricks too. Not saying that is what urs is doing, but since my treatments have ended, I get these pains after my scans show new "activity", and I hate my brain for doing that, lol.
Hope your ultrasound comes back with no issues!!
