Does anyone suffer from TMJ?
The pain has been so bad the past few days. I actually went to the neurologist yesterday b/c I thought something else was wrong. I haven't had a flair up in quite some time. I have a bad headache, bad neck pain, my jaw and ears hurt.

Re: Does anyone suffer from TMJ?
This has been my new thing lately. I clench my teeth - not just during the night because I am catching myself during the day too. My whole face feels tired, ears have been hurting and I get headaches on and off from it too. I have to consciously remember to relax my jaw - it always feels like it is having one big mucscle spasm. It actually feels a little better if I massage it. I haven't seen anyone for it yet but I was thinking of going to a chiropractor for it.

Re: Does anyone suffer from TMJ?
I just got another flair up now, this is my third one this week. For me it is mostly ear pain but I prevents me from turning my head. I see people mention seeing a chiropractor. I never thought of that, what would they do to help this pain?

My mom has it really bad and she's currently going to physical therapy for it. The insurance company insisted they try that as a last resort before surgery!

Re: Does anyone suffer from TMJ?
Yes I have constant ear ringing from it and sometimes my jaw pops when I am chewing. I tried going to a dentist who specializes in TMJ to try to correct it, but unfortunately neither my dental or medical ins. covers TMJ, so I am stuck.

Re: Does anyone suffer from TMJ?
Yes, I unfortunately have it!!
I wear a night guard at night when I go to sleep...I find it to help.
When I'm having pain...I massage the side that is hurting, or sometimes use a hot compress.
I hope you feel better. The pain is definitely no fun!!!

I do the same thing. I also get muscle pain in my shoulder and around my shoulder blade. I use hot compresses and try to massage it.
