And, Amanda admitted, there’s “nothing” she can do to stop it.

Scans showed no nerve damage, Amanda said, and her dentist thinks the feeling may return.
However, Amanda said: “I’ve had scans of it and they showed that the nerve wasn’t damaged, so they think the feeling may return. But it has been over 18 months now, so I’m not sure it will to be honest.
“It’s bizarre but you get used to it,” she said.
What is TMJ and how does it affect Amanda?
Amanda also opened up about another condition that she is suffering from, called TMJ.
She admitted she doesn’t “even know what it stands for” but said it has “something to do with your jaw”.

And Amanda admitted she’s “tried everything” to stop it but “nothing works”.
She added: “Most people who have it grind their teeth, but I don’t. Instead I have a habit of doing a thing which means I unconsciously tense a muscle in my neck and it causes me headaches at least once a week.”
