1548028 tn?1324612446 My son gets terrible shocks in his legs at night (during day too but really bad at night). He says sometimes they are quick but sometimes they are lasting for several minutes. I know he is having a lot of trouble sleeping. He says he just gets to sleep and the pains start over. Any suggestions or tricks to help these? He takes Neurotin 1200mg-1600mg/day.
Avatar f tn t afford that, being a student, so I settled for taking an Aleve whenever the pain gets worse. Now there seems to be a nodule in the hollow of my jaw, just below the TMJ (again, left side only)/ I have pointed this bump out to clinic doctors, and no one gives it any credibility. It's causing pain, and I wonder if it's something to worry about.
1540869 tn?1351214013 My anxiety and depression has always gotten worse at night, but lately it's been really bad. I know that it's normal to be more in a depressive state at night but why is it so bad? I get weird thoughts and sometimes weird dreams, and i start crying out of no where or getting mad and upset . Sometimes It just gets out of control and I can catch it but it's hard to stop it all together.
1305767 tn?1361192676 I do clench and grind my teeth at night, have for a long time. Sometimes I wake and my jaw and neck hurts so bad from it but the pain has always subsided within ten minutes. I also clench my jaw during the day and don't realized it until it starts aching.
Avatar f tn was diagnosed with TMJ a few months back but i think i have had it for awhile longer. i grind my teeth severely at night. my pain is getting worse. what type of doc do i see for this?
Avatar m tn I grind my teeth at night, have sinus problems in the winter, wear old glasses that don't fit much anymore and rest on my cheekbone, and have lots of anxiety. On Saturday, I had a small panic attack, most of it induced by way to much coffee (I had a date later that night and didn't want to be tired!). I breathed through the panic attack, but the mix of anxiety and coffee made me want to grind my teeth while I was awake!
Avatar f tn We decided to stay off steroids but taking prescription NSAIDS to keep the wrist/jaw/hip pain manageable enough to get some sleep at night. Pain worsens through the day and is worst around 3 AM. Swelling and pain are best around 10AM. Mid back gets really stiff and somewhat painful while sleeping as well. Some days when the jaw flares I can feel a big goosegg there too, in front of my ear. I think the next step is either an orthopod for the wrist, and dentist for the jaw....
Avatar n tn I am having diffculties opening my mouth because of the pain and soreness. What I need to know is this normal to have pain in the jaw area after a wisdom tooth extraction? And if so, how long should I expect to experience this pain?
Avatar f tn m always going, and this happens with other teeth as well. Used to have a guard to wear at night but it seemed to make things worse. Klonopin at night has helped immensely but who wants to keep doing that?
Avatar f tn What is the cause for sudden pain and numbness in the ear and jaw joint? I am a 22 year old female and I have been experiencing these symptoms since yesterday. I was fine until the evening when I touched my right ear (towards the inside) and minced in pain. Since then I have noticed pain, pressure and partial numbness what feels like the inside of my ear, towards the middle, and about an inch around it surrounding the top of my jaw joint. I have difficulty opening my mouth too much.
2932946 tn?1344722012 u can get the one at the sports supply store and u heat it up and it gets formed to ur mouth....it helps at night from grinding and it slipping....could be worth a try?
Avatar f tn hi , i had the 6 remaining teeth removed from my mouth in march 2011. and the dr that pulled my teeth had a real hard time getting them out. during the procedure he was pulling on one of them and it was very hard to come out but he continued to pull and pull until it felt like my right jaw bone was breaking. i tried to tell him but i couldn't talk only point to my jaw. but he continued. now i have severe right ear and jaw pain at every night i can't sleep cause of the pain.
Avatar f tn I have this problem, too. There have been times when I've woken up to a limb (very often my right arm) that is paralyzed. I hadn't slept on it wrong and it doesn't have any pressure on it. I"ve wondered this, too. At present, my right leg has severe tingling when sitting on a soft couch with legs uncrossed too long. It probably has something to do with inactivity during these time periods, but I don't know the mechanism myself, so did a little research.
666921 tn?1254990618 herxy feeling - I felt a lot worse, increased anxiety,pain, bloating etc; at one point I thought I was going to pass out. Here's an odd thing - [nothing to do with onions] - one of my 'hard headed' dogs [bull terriers!
Avatar m tn m usually OK in the morning and as the day progresses, the pain gets worse. I find myself getting tired very easily these days and I'm worried that this condition is not getting better. Any thoughts?
Avatar f tn I have a long history of IGE food allergies. The top 8 plus more. I avoided them for a couple years and added them back in with minimal issues or so I thought but I was overlooking mild ana that was slowly progressing. I used to get hives and have had to go to ER twice to get a steroid after benedryl didn't stop them, along with GI symptoms. Now what I have is anaphylaxis symptoms. My tongue and lips swell and I can see my throat close up.
Avatar f tn It is only when I am resting and so far only at night. The pain is mild but I have no idea what it is. I am 16 and im very healthy as far as i know. I run and have been swimming a lot more recently. Does anyone else have these problems? Im pretty sure you can't get heart burn in this area.
Avatar f tn My pains are worse in the morning and at night as well. Last night I also started to go to the ER. I take my AmbienCR to go to sleep earlier than normal when I feel this way so that I can go to sleep as soon as possible. Usually when this occurs I take that pill at 7pm.
Avatar f tn Now I have had braces on for a week and im having the worse pain possible that originates in my jaw and shoots up to my scalp. My pain is in my lower left jaw, to my ear,then to my cheek bone, then to my scalp. I have the pain for a couple minutes then i will be fine for a few min to 30 min then it happens again.6 I called the surgeon and he would not see me but said it is my braces. I've never had braces before but I've never heard anyone say they had this much pain. What is wrong?
Avatar f tn m curious what advice will be given for this but will share what I have tried that works for me. Gum chewing helps me out during the day. Mine was/is worse at night and (ok, this is going to sound odd) but if I fall asleep with a corner of my blanket or my nightshirt between my teeth it helps me fall asleep. I will tell you that this has definitely gotten better over time and probably really settled down after about a month for me.
Avatar f tn That helped for a short time. There are days that I still wake up with pain radiating from my right jaw all the way up the side of my head. It can last for days. I take naprosen for pain. That usually helps a little but I would like to find a more permanent treatment. I was punched in the face in the jaw area several years ago, this has contributed to the pain.
230948 tn?1235844329 (at different times) Lately, in this new flare of symptoms, I’m having facial numbness and tingling. Then, I started getting jaw pain, in not only my right jaw…but now my left jaw too. Every time I chew…it sets it off…just like it used to do to my right jaw. With all these facial/jaw episodes…I’m now wondering if all along, I’ve had Trigeminal Neuralgia. I have a couscin with MS, TN, & Fibro. Any thoughts???
