hi
yep I get all sort of facial pain and odd sensations ( a spongy type feeling). Last summer i had a bells palsy (witch resolved completly very quickly) I also have permanant eye lid twitching-Botox has now stopped that!
I have been extensivly inveatigated but nothing ever found, but i do know that facial pain is VERY common and a huge amount of research has gone into finding out what its all about. A Lot of the research suggests that nerve ending are on a higher 'alert' in resonse to stress and of course us anxious folk are always stressed adn all that adrenaline coursing around puts us on the flight or fight alert and that MUST effect nerve endings
Teeth grinding is also thought be be significant
BUt in saying that i have been on and off meds for 20years so when i'm nicely chilled i still have those facial pains, my eye still twitch and i got the bells palsy!?? So who know!! LOL

I had exactly the same and after MRI and tests it was NOTHING. These things just happen sometimes. Please don't worry. I freaked and thought I had MS
