HI Lin
I had jaw and face pain when flaring badly but it was like my usual lupus type pain........grinding, sometimes gripping, stiffening and much worse in the mornings. Also like lupus pain it responded to steroids and nsaids.
Yours does sound like trigeminal neuralgia.
I remember nursing somebody with it who would jump amp cry with the pain.
Try googling it.
Tactfully mention it at the ER...........some docs don't like to be told
