My story is short actually thank goodness, this started April 12th and I’ve seen 10 dentists/endodontists 1 of whom diagnosed me with TMJ, one told me he could see my trigeminal nerve in my tooth x-ray, one who thinks I’m being over-treated because my back molar is in fact in need of a root canal, and the day this started I broke said tooth. Upon entering the ER with horrible pain in my jaw and seeing a stroke specialist, cause that’s what they thought was going on.. I was diagnosed with TN in the hour I was sitting there. No MRI no bloodwork just a tramadol shot and a carbamazepine script. I’ve since seen a neurologist who is basing diagnosis on the ER and associated pain. MRI Friday. Anyway, I’m trying to come to terms with this and also sort out if this is in fact what I have.

My worst fear is that I am unable to have kids because of this.. if I do have TN, does this completely rule out child birth?

Edit: my fear also lies within feeling that electric shock going through my jaw when it first occurred. Omg it took me right out. I went from standing to floor in .2 seconds
