Common Questions and Answers about Fibromyalgia symptoms jaw

fibromyalgia

Avatar n tn MY question is, I do not understand my pain, Do my pain originate in my jaw or my head? In the past I had symptoms of Try mingle Neuralgia. Could that contribute to my facial pain? Why does the Lyrica wont work all the time?
Avatar f tn In some fibromyalgia patients problems started with dental infection(s) that spread regionally and then eventually systemically. After their infection(s) became systemic, they were dx with fibromyalgia syndrome. Intractable jaw infections are infections that often involve the bone and are particularly difficult to treat with systemic approaches, such as antibiotics. Unfortunately, successful treatment often requires that the infected bone be ablated.
387767 tn?1345872027 This might sound strange, but I get sharp, shooting pains in my ears and jaw and around my head near the ears. The pain is intense and quite scary. I don't know what this is from. When I mention it to my doctors and dentists, they look at me like I'm crazy. I have had my ears checked and my teeth and they say everything is fine. This is bothering me more than anything else and very hard to take. It keeps me up at night. Does anyone get anything like this from fibro?
Avatar f tn I"m sorry to hear you've been having such pain. Many of the symptoms you've described do sound a lot like fibromyalgia. Many fibro patients also suffer with IBS, TMJ (jaw pain) and headaches. I'm glad to hear that you have a doctor's appointment set up. I suggest you make a list of your symptoms, what you've tried to relieve them, what has worked, what hasn't worked, anything that makes it better or worse, what time of day seems the worst (if applicable), etc.
Avatar f tn I am 27 years old and have some recent symptoms that have scared me. It started in Apr. '07. I was having chronic fatigue with no other symptoms. The doctor did blood work and said everything came back normal. Then in Aug. '07 I woke up with numbness, tingling, and weakness on my right side. I went to the doctor who stated that I probably had a viral infection and to just work through it. I did and began feeling better until about two weeks ago, Sept. '08.
Avatar m tn Im sorry to hear about your tmj and your children that must be really hard on you. yes i do have reflux and im pretty shore that's where the nausea comes from but i take nexium for that. Now that i think about i have had alote of injury's when i was little so it may be fibromyalgia. The dentist took x-rays with my jaw open and closed, i have done that twice now but he couldn't find anything. I told my doctor and he said that you cant c tmj with a xray.
2015036 tn?1332997788 I posted a question here a few days ago, and I haven't gotten any responses. Please, even if you aren't sure, I need opinions... I already have multiple sclerosis, but I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia too- so I don't know what to attribute these symptoms to. I have been experiencing these things: *Waking up severely choking on saliva- not able to breath for a painful length of time. *Difficulty chewing when eating- like my jaws are are losing strength.
Avatar f tn Does anyone suffer from lower jaw pain? I have intermittent pain on both sides of my lower jaw but chewing doesn't make the pain worse.
1280306 tn?1271267786 Regardless of whether there is an autoimmune component, your symptoms sound to be that of Fibromyalgia with severe TMJ (commonly seen with this condition) Fibromyalgia loves to attack the jaw and cause alot of facial pain, exhaustion, and pressure around the front muscles of the neck. Lastly, get the node in your neck biopsied to r/o another problem/confirm autoimmune disease. I hope this helps.
Avatar f tn It also sounds very much like fibromyalgia. I have all those symptoms plus more. You may have ME but keep in mind that doctors aren't completely sure yet that fibromyalgia and ME are 2 separate diseases. They may be the same or at least have many,many overlapping symptoms. It is, at any rate, damn frustrating trying to get answers. Let us know how it works out for you.
Avatar f tn I have been dealing with symptoms for several years and finally went to a dr. about 3 years ago.
Avatar f tn Chronic muscle pain, muscle spasms or tightness, weakness in the limbs, and leg cramps Moderate or severe fatigue and decreased energy Insomnia or waking up feeling just as tired as when you went to sleep Stiffness upon waking or after staying in one position for too long Difficulty remembering, concentrating, and performing simple mental tasks Abdominal pain, bloating, nausea, and constipation alternating with diarrhea (irritable bowel syndrome) Tension or migraine headaches Jaw and fa
Avatar f tn I have noticed lately that after talking for just a few minutes my upper jaw bones/cheek bones tend to ache. This happens even when I tilt my head back to put on my mascara. I do have mild allergies but they are not very bothersome, unlike this dull ache in my face. It seems to be getting worse. Any suggestions?
Avatar n tn t have any answers (sorry to say), but I just wanted to let you know that I have EXTREME joint pain (including jaw), as well as muscle pain more typical of fibromyalgia, and MS is one of the things my doctor is thinking due to other symptoms. It also seems like a lot of people with MS (and I'm just going by the postings I've seen on forums, not by hard statistics) also seem to have fibromyalgia - so maybe you have some overlapping disorders?
Avatar n tn I have SLE Lupus so I have had symptoms I believe are related to that, arthritis, joint pain, fatigue to name a few. I originally went to see the ENT because I had swelling from my upper jaw down the side of my neck. I was pretty sure it was a tooth that had been capped the previously year since that's when it all started but wanted to rule out anything else. She said it was probably lupus related and suggested I get physical therapy.
Avatar n tn I am a 22 year old female and after doing a bit of research it sounds as though I have several symptoms that occur under fibromyalgia. I have had throughout my entire life a bizarre amount of muscle problems and pain. In recent times (last 5-6 months) I have had occasions where my body and skin hurts so much that even my shirt is hurting it. This isn't an everyday, or even every week, event but it has happened probably 5 or 6 time.
Avatar f tn How are you? Trigeminal neuralgia (TN) is a neuropathic disorder of the trigeminal nerve that causes episodes of intense pain in the eyes, lips, nose, scalp, forehead, and jaw. The condition can bring about stabbing, electric shock-like pain from just a light wind or a finger's glance of the cheek.TN usually develops after the age of 40.
Avatar f tn t go into all my details, but after 2-3 years of odd symproms and random/chronic muscle pain my neurologist has suggested that I have fibromyalgia. She said I should discuss it with my famil doctor at my next appt, which is in July. Both doctors have run me through countless tests to rule out other neuro and autoimmune diseases including MS. My family doctor really felt like I may be depressed.
1147984 tn?1261626788 i have fibermailagia and never had anything like that until recently. my mom and both have the EXACT same symptoms. severe headaches, jaw pain, neck acke, ear pain, eye pain, cant taste things, soo tired all the time.
Avatar f tn It felt like the tooth was stabbing me in the jaw with a knife. The tooth and jaw both hurt, from the joint to the nose and went as high up as the cheek bone. The pain was so bad, I couldn't do anything but lie in bed. I tried pain medication, Oragel, and everything else people suggested. The only thing that helped, I discovered on Saturday, was ice (and not talking or eating).
