Detailed Answer:
HI, thanks for using healthcare magic

TMJ (temporomandibular joint dysfunction) would normally present with symptoms concentrated in the region of the jaw.

It is possible that the symptoms are related to neuralgia. Since it is in this region may be trigeminal neuralgia though this is your first episode.

The trigeminal nerve is made up of different parts that are responsible for sensation and movement in different parts of the face.
The three parts of the opthalmic division (supplies the area around the temple and eye area), the maxillary (around the check area) and the mandibular.

Neuralgia refers to abnormal function or structure of a nerve. This can cause pain and abnormal sensations such as burning, pinching, sticking , stabbing discomfort.

CAUSES: (1)most commonly idiopathic- cause is not known
(2)presence of a mass affecting the nerve
(3)blood vessel may also compress a nerve. In addition it is also possible that the blood supply to a nerve may be affected
(4)inflammatory diseases such as sarcoidosis
(5)MS
(6)lack of vitamin b12 or folate can also cause neuralgia
(7)diabetes

In many cases, the symptoms may resolve with no intervention. It is normally not emergency but can be assessed by visiting your family doctor unless the pain in intolerable.

I hope this helps,feel free to ask any other questions

You can use the aleve to see if it helps you.
