Experiencing difficulties with cancer and TMJ flare ups

Hi all

I have been diagnosed with a grade 3 breast cancer and I am awaiting surgery. I have undergone a couple of months of testing and stressful time and now I have a horrid flare up of TN pain.

In addition I have a dysfunctional jaw and today my gums on the affected side are swollen and are too painful to eat solid food with. Is anyone else experiencing difficulties with cancer in the mix?

Dr Andrew Grande at the U of M, corrected my Trigeminal Neuralgia issues with some Ryzotomy’s on the V2 & V3 Nerves. I’m 13 years pain free now I think. I’m sorry for your pain.

I have glossopharyngeal neuralgia which is extremely rare and I can’t find a doctor who treats my condition. I’m still dealing with it for 2 1/2 years now. I’m taking medication with no results. Looks like I’m going to live with this condition. I’m in California.
