dhills02 I have got this at the moment, and have had recurrences for 20 years, every few months. I am getting over a flare at the moment, and have been researching online. I think it's Allodynia because I also get patches of it on my legs at times.
My dentist says I grind my teeth and maybe it is that, but my symptoms don't really fit TMJ pain. I don't think it's Trigeminal Neuralgia as I rarely get flashes of stabbing pain, more a general sore feeling and hyper skin sensitivity.
I used to think it was due to a large metal filling on that side of my mouth, but I had all my fillings replaced and yet still get the pain occasionally.
I'm wondering if it's due to a root canal because they are supposed to harbour a lot of bacteria?
I get a flare up when I am stressed or run down. We are all stressed at the moment due to C-19, obviously, but I have also had a very painful back and my asthma has been out of control, so it may be due to all of that with me.
