504930 tn?1210512101 I have been reading about my symptoms and it sounds a lot like this, since the jaw and ear started hurting. (plugged feeling in the ear) Also right side neck pain for a few days a couple of weeks ago. (I just assumed I slept on it wrong or something).
Avatar f tn Hello, The first possibility is of a spinal cause like cervical stenosis or degeneration which is causing nerve irritation. Nerve irritation may present with pain in the neck and when movement of the neck is there from side to side if cervical spine is involved and tingling and numbness in the upper extremities. Any spinal cause in the lower spine may be associated with tingling in the soles of feet and legs.
Avatar f tn I think I have TMJ, although no dentist has agreed with me, but my jaw clicks and I can see it shift when I open my mouth. So now I have this jaw pain that almost seems connected somehow to my neck -- just not sure if it's a possibility?? And how can I relieve it??!!?? Any input is appreciated!
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?
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.
12912879 tn?1427855072 I had the worst toothache on my left side which became jaw pain on the left side. After taking antibiotics the tooth and jaw pain slowly slightly faded with just a small toothache 1 or 2 times per week. However the eye and head pain and waking up with headaches and the horrible constant pain on my left side started maybe a few weeks after ky toothache went away. So its probably unrelated but just throwing that out there. Please help me.
Avatar m tn What I have is actually in the neck and jaw. the left side of my neck hurts toward the side (main muscle/tendon going down from the jaw to the shoulder, and under my jaw, from what I can tell is inside my jaw. there are ridges on my jaw towards my chin that hurt, and also the space in between my jaw hurts. Don't know if it is glandular or tmj related. odd stuff. Cannot see my doc until next Thursday. anything that I can do?
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 f tn (they took my blood to test for infection) I hope it will go away soon, like I said, the head pain itself is better since I relaxed my jaw. Now I just have to heal my neck/shoulders.
190673 tn?1259203266 I get headache that is mainlyon the back of my head and when I apply something cold to my jaw area the headache usually goes away. But I have read that TMJ can cause dizziness, anxiety etc while contrary to that, some people claim it cannot. Can someone with knowledge tell me the symptoms of TMJ and does it cause anxiety or vice versa?
1156727 tn?1309567608 I have been having chest pain, palpitations, neck pain, jaw pain, weakness in legs, headache & dizziness. I have a pacemaker b/c I have complete heart block. Pacemaker is working ok. I went to ER last night...they did bloodwork, chest x-ray & EKG...kept me for overnight observation & said I was fine. I DON'T FEEL FINE!. I'm exhausted all the time....have appt w/ cardiologist that i can't get moved up b/c she's so booked.
Avatar m tn joints in this area, which can cause severe headaches, eye/jaw pain, numbness in the tongue, or other strange pains and feelings around the head. The click in the neck has probably stopped because a joint that was moving abnormally is now stuck. This can lead to gradually worsening headache and other symptoms. The joints just need to be unstuck. Furthermore, I have to urge you away from using adderall recreationally.
Avatar n tn Also, you might go to a dentist specializing in TMJ disorders or a maxillofacial specialist, because a problem with the jaw is strongly suspect with headache on the side with jaw pain. Do you clench or grind your teeth when you sleep? I'm a clencher myself and I have both joints with arthritis and joint disc dislocations, with one of them out of place even when I open my mouth (called without reduction, I believe).
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 s esphoguas, I have recently been in the hospital twice in two weeks. Once for high blood pressure, numbness in my left side of my neck, jaw and ear. Also blue hands. I had been taken off of elavil 25mg., that I was using for stomach spasm, per the doctor. The second hospital stay, I woke up at 3 am one morning with a headache and nausea. I took 3 baby aspirin, and two tylenol 325mg. I laid back down and pressure came over me.
Avatar f tn Hi, How are you? Can you elaborate/describe your headache? Was there any trauma to your head or neck? Temporomandibular Joint (TMJ) Headaches presents with muscle-contraction type of pain, sometimes accompanied by a painful "clicking" sound on opening the jaw. This can also be an Infrequent cause of headache and may be due to malocclusion (poor bite), stress, and jaw clenching. Try to relax, use Ice packs, pain relievers and identify possible sources of headache triggers.
Avatar m tn Aside from TMJ, which is a muscle-contraction type of pain and sometimes associated with jaw pain, another differential is exertion headache which follows physical exertion (running, jumping, or sexual intercourse) or passive exertion (sneezing, coughing, moving one's bowels, etc.). Majority of this conditions is related to migraine or cluster headache.
Avatar f tn When I bend over the pain is severe in my neck at the base of my head (where head and neck meet) and the headache feels worse. Otherwise the pain is 7 or 8/10 and is CONSTANT. No relief with OTC pain management. I’m a 34 year old woman, no other health issues. Plan to see a doctor if pain doesn’t go away Sunday. Does anyone know if this is a sprain? Pinched nerve? Or worse?

Avatar f tn I would suggest seeing a chiropractor. I have a bad disc at C5/C6 and when I get this, (also get jaw pain which can radiate into my ear) I go to my chiropractor and she fixes me right up. Good luck.
Avatar f tn A condition where the amune system attacks and inflames the arteries. It has caused neck pain, tenderness to the scull, jaw pain, headache, sweating, low grade fever and blurred vision. If not treated immediately, it can cause permanent blindness. Go to Giant Cell Arteritis on Google and read Johns Hopkins report.
Avatar m tn s a very good idea to seek therapy ~ it can make a world of difference in your life! Regarding the jaw pain; clenching jaw muscles can affect your neck and jaw, it is actually a common symptom for many people who suffer from anxiety. If it is extreme, you can ask your dentist for a mouth guard, which can help reduce the pain and also save your teeth from any future damage ( use it at night while you sleep, or if you nap anytime)...
Avatar f tn I am a 17 years old girl. four months ago i started experiencing neck pain that wouldnt go away. A g.p prescribed antibiotics for it, then muscle relaxants and then calcium and vitamin supplements but to no avail. note: ialso have tmj.My tmj only causes me to not be able to open my mouth completely. A jaw specialist recommended that i undergo orthodontic treatment for it. Now i've had braces for almost a year.
621386 tn?1221532483 Not to mention, that she suffered for years with head pain, jaw pain ( excrutiating) sinus troubles, severe neck pain, and mostly ear aches. They told her it was "sensative ears", and they told her it was Vertigo. This went on for many years, they gave her pain meds that only harbored the troubles. Now, I am very mad that her doctor(s) could not have found out about the cancer until the lesion showed up.
Avatar n tn I get the worst pain on my left side of my face, head, my ear hurts and my neck almost like a toothache.
Avatar f tn not only on one side but my entire head including my back of the neck, throat (everytime i have this headache and i touch my throat i can feel some pain), eyes (when i touch my eyelids there's also pain), and my symptoms other than severe pounding and sharp pain al over my head are watery eyes, neck (back of the neck) pain, feeling weak and nauseous and i noticed that i kept on yawning. i have consulted an opthalmologist for my eyes.
Avatar m tn A few days ago I yawned, and had this extreme pain in my upper neck, right below my chin. I have experienced this pain before, but not like this. After the yawn occurred, I experienced massive head pain. The pain did not stop, and has continued threw the week. And I also have experienced the neck pain every so often. But now, after over talking/volunteering, I'm experiencing the pain non stop, And my head hurts quite a lot. Also when I lay my head down I can feel a very hard beat in my head.
751397 tn?1367437548 I was 21, raising 2 kids, lost both of my grandparents. I tried pain clinics with injections into the back of my neck. Nothing worked. I found I had developed a fibrous growth on my neck from the accident in 1969. It had taken this long to show up. The headaches persisted for about 4 years. One day I received a flyer in the mail about DMSO. I ordered the product and started rubbing this compound on the spot on my neck. Within a couple of weeks the pain was leaving.
