Physical changes in face on TN side?

The other day I noticed my left ear lobe had changed shape/size. Instead of having the rounded end it goes somewhat flat from my neck up to the ear. It’s really no big deal but I found it odd and wondered if anyone else had noticed facial changes.

Sometimes I feel my face looks different. Even that my smile on the tn sides goes that way more. Hard to explain. But yes

I feel like my eye looks different, which is one place I feel pain.

Yes absolutely my most painful side of face has a dip in it!

My husband can tell when I have pain. He says my face swells and I talk as if tongue is swollen. This is all on side where I have pain.

One week out from surgery and I'm all crooked! It's like I had a face lift on that side.

My TN pain is located in my right forehead area and temple. Both areas suffer from crazy sporadic swelling especially when I am in pain.

You are not alone in this crazy journey :slight_smile:
