Hi,
Thanks for writing in to us.

With a history of right frontal lobe seizures since 18 years, the date of last seizure is important. The concussion you suffered last June must also be evaluated in total. If your pain is over the skin along the jawline, the possibility of trigemminal neuralgia must also be explored.

I would suggest you get examined by a neurologist and any soft neurological signs will be confirmed. This will help in deciding if a CT scan or MRI scan is necessary. This is important as you have balance problems.

Any problem due to your recent concussion cannot be entirely ruled out without detailed examination.

Hope this helps.
