Jaw issues

Well, just as LDN started to help my body fatigue and pain, my TMJ started acting up again. Except this time it was with vengeance. I dont know exactly what started it. It could have been the molar extraction I had to get after a botched root canal. I remember a painful sudden crack/pop about a week ago. I remember shrieking with surprise and a sudden pain ripping towards my chin and forehead. The best way I can explain it is how a charley horse feels when you run, except its on the left side of my face causing my lip to droop and face swell.

Is my jawline really gone? Or am I swollen??? Have I really gained enough weight to gain it under my jaw??? I can tell you it feels like a lump under my skin. Maybe my glands are not draining? Maybe my lymphnodes are swollen? Why is it tender to touch? Why is the left side of my face looking "puffy".

I am hoping the oral surgeon specialist can get me in tomorrow afternoon. Crossing my fingers I am able to be helped. Sometimes I think I am not meant to be helped.
