504930 tn?1210512101 I have been to the Dr many times, ruled out everything (sinus, migraine, etc) I went to a neurologist a couple of weeks ago, he suggested a MRI and MRA of the head (its scheduled for next week). Last week my right jaw near the ear and ear started hurting still hurts, (also head still hurts at times). the pain fluctuates. My question is will the MRI of the head show TMJ? I have been reading about my symptoms and it sounds a lot like this, since the jaw and ear started hurting.
Avatar f tn What would cause my bite to shift to the right and pain at the joint of my jaw on the right? Could this change account for my having a constant eadache?
Avatar n tn 1 minute is in the temple and then it later will move to her forehead or in front of her ear near her jaw. It is a sharp pain that is stronger sometimes than others. We just cant figure out what is causing it?
146298 tn?1258712247 They go from my eye to my jaw and specific points of pain are jaw, base of skull, top of skull, behind ear, where shoulder meets neck. When I have such a headache I am very dizzy, technically it's vertigo. After the ache has begun my nostril slowly closes itself and adds a bit to the pressure, but I've had sinus headaches and this is different. Something in my head seems to be swelling and blocking the nasal passage rather than the nasal passage being blocked and causing the pain.
Avatar f tn I am quite sure if it was an ear infection, you would be feeling very sick by now with a fever, and the pain would be more localized( in your ear itself) not as a headache pain. In this case, you should get an opinion from your dentist. If it is TMJ he will be able to help you better than your reg. MD.
387767 tn?1345872027 Ear pain, Jaw pain and Headaches can be due to TMJ ( Tempromandibular Joint Dysfunction). TMJ is common in patients with Fibromyalgia. Do you grind /clench your teeth at night? Do you mostly get this pain after waking up from sleep? Then most likely it's TMJ. Also, If your dentist mentions that you have some teeth-wear ( Attrition), then you are most likely grinding/clenching your teeth at night. Though I don't know what the reason could be for your throat closing up...
Avatar f tn I have had jaw pain for many days, only on one side, now i have ear and throat pain on the same side, and my jaw hurts so bad, like I had been punched (or so I assume) really har din the jaw. It hurts to eat, and I have pain in my ear and a sore throat.....can anyone give me advise? Bad sinuses? Time to go the Dr?
Avatar f tn When I try to open my mouth fully, the pain is very severe and also, I have headache, the pain is near the eyebrow and behind my neck. I have on and off fever and chills and also nauseousness and dizziness sometimes. My hearing in the right ear is normal and no infection either. Please let me know exactly what it is related to and what doctor shud i seek if needed?
Avatar f tn However, I have taken all of the medication, the redness was gone within a couple of days, but now the pain has worsened, even to the point of causing a burning in my jaw by my ear, as it does if I laugh when I have something sour in my mouth. I also have a continuous ear pain and have a headache all day and night. At night it causes me to wake up and the headache is so bad I feel sick to my stomach. It hurts worse to lay on my right side also.
Avatar f tn ve had an ongoing headache for about 3 weeks now, I have been to the doctor twice, and was given Naproxen, which disagreed with me, I was told to relax, my jaw is in spasm, the headache wakes me at night, and the pain doesnt stay in the same place, yesterday it was around my left ear and jaw, this morning its at the back of my head. Has anyone got any suggestions to help it?
Avatar n tn Now a days i have continuous neck ache feel like pain in the vein, some thing burning below the jaw and left side of head near ear. It never goes away with any pain killer. I feel each and every day almost all times. In the morning my eyes are puffy and fell like i had no sleep. Some time i feel pain in my chest (upper left side) which i wonder related to my left neck pain. Sometime i feel too tired. Sometime my hands and feet are so cold. Some time i feel warmer face but cold inside the body.
Avatar f tn s like this I get this bug crawling sensation near my left ear and onto my face. Could this be some type of injury or tmj? Any reply would be greatly appreciated. There is no facial pain, but sometimes my left ear will hurt. Thank you very much. This is starting to scare me.
Avatar f tn Just an ordinary doctor could tell me that?
Avatar f tn hello, you could have tmj-temporomandibular joint disease-it does cause dizziness, headaches, pain in and around the ear, pain in the jaw and jaw clicking and popping. there are some good articles on the internet they give you more symptoms and info about it. i am not a dr-- i do not know about fever-chills and throwing up. with that it could be something else. sounds like you may need to see a dr and let him or her decide what is going on. good luck and hope you feel better soon.
Avatar f tnPain or tenderness of your jaw •Pain in one or both of the temporomandibular joints •Aching pain in and around your ear •Difficulty chewing or pain while chewing •Aching facial pain •Locking of the joint, making it difficult to open or close your mouth TMJ disorders can also cause a clicking sound or grating sensation when you open your mouth or chew.
Avatar f tn i get a sharp pain behind my left ear it can last days in spasms comes lasts a few seconds then goes i get a few mins rest then it happens again today nothing so far but i would like to know what is causing it
Avatar m tn The initial pain was primarily in my ear, but then spread to other areas on the left side of my face. I do have pain in my in the upper part of my jaw near the joint, but I don't have any of the other symptoms that you listed. Could it still be Bell's palsy and why does the pain lessen when I lay down and resume when I stand?

Avatar n tn had a stabing pain behind left ear, it was between my ear and jaw bone, recently had two teeth pulled near the front. it hurt when i open my mouth and the ice cream made it hurt. I also have a sinus infection and sore throat.
387767 tn?1345872027 Is it possible to have arthritis in the jaw? I get pain in my jaw right near my ear, and I get pain in my ear, especially the left one. I also get a sharp pains in my head on that side. I am worried. Doctors are not really giving me an answer, and I visited several dentists to check my teeth and for TMJ. My jaw kind of clicks when I move it, but not really any pain in my mouth. Since I have arthritis in so many other joints, is it possible to have it here too?
Avatar f tn Hello, need help and advice. First let me say that I'm a 57-year-old female, and we have no insurance. So I need to know what to do. Presently I am experiencing very sharp pains on the left side of my head, One spot that hurts a lot to touch is above my left ear kind of at an angle. Even if I comb my hair, it's painful. If I move my hair, it's painful. Right at this moment it's not hurting, but it is a little sore. It's been waking me up like at 3:00 a.m.
Avatar n tn It always starts with a horrible headache then it goes to numbness in my cheek and jaw and ear. The other day I had a new symptom that was a sore throat pain in underneath of jaw and behind my ear. Anyway, someone told me the headache was a side effect of gabbapentin but the headache has always been present even before I started medication. The headache is constant and unrelenting. I have had MRI and cat scan and they were normal. Dr thinks my TN came from mastoiditis that I had.
Avatar m tn Headache on browline or forehead, eyepain, lower back pain, my jaw pops when mouth is open more than halfway, tingling in arms and legs, feels like my nerve endings in arms are wierd or sense of weakness, at times I have watery eyes, dizzy feeling(sometimes real bad- draimine seems to help). I have had this for over twelve years. I have had MRI's and a spinal tap about 7 years ago and the lastest MRI, because I wanted to see if there was any change, was done 11 months ago and all was fine.
Avatar n tn I have severe pain in my jaw and it is difficult to close my mouth without tension/pain. It sends stabbing pain both in my jaw and ear at night. I also have a lump on the jaw joint near my ear!!! I has been going on since begining of september.I wake up screaming. It is like some stabbed me with a long knitting needle after held over a flame!!!!!! This discussion is related to <a href='/posts/show/434413'>Lump on jaw?</a>.
1408179 tn?1281376905 So instead I live with headache, neck pain, jaw/face/ear pain, eye issues, numbness in my hands, interrupted/poor sleep and pain meds that barely control the pain and have numerous side effects. Wish my doctor thought like you do. Not like I want to run right out and have a craniotomy, but some days I think it'll be worth it to stop living like this.
