[QUOTE="Busybee, post: 122551, member: 7123"]
I had trigeminal neuralgia which resolved after three or four months.    Most such conditions do resolve over time.  Some are unlucky and have a chronic problem.    I think mine was linked to the bite because it was around the same time as I first noticed a clicky jaw.

Stress can make you grind more or clench more or hunch your shoulders but the pain (in all but a tiny minority of cases) is caused by a physical source.   Mine may have been triggered by a poorly made night guard.  Your body and jaw can re-align and rebalance itself over time.  Teeth move over time.  We don't fully understand the nature of pain but when I looked into this a couple of years ago, it turns out that psychosomatic pain is rare.

I really do wish there were more specialists covering the whole area crossing over from dental to neuro to orthopaedics and muskuloskeletal.    Unfortunately the body is treated like a car going into the mechanics.   The bite "specialists" I have met don't really seem to be any more clued up than general dentists.   As for neurologists, don't even start me on that topic.
