Jaw pain thyroid
Common Questions and Answers about Jaw pain thyroid
jaw-pain
Shortness of breath can be a hypo symptom - I had it pretty bad when I was very hypo, but I don't believe the pain in the left arm, heaviness in the legs are thyroid related. Neck and jaw "maybe", but only if there were large goiter pressing on something essential, in which case that, most likely, would be felt/visible from the outside.
IMO - other things need to be checked out. Hashimoto's doesn't cause the symptoms -- resulting hypo does.
My doctor tells me it is my thyroid. It looks like it is mildly swelled up, and has been there for 4-5 days.
A few weeks ago, I had a wisdom tooth extracted, and had swelling and slight pain in the surgical site areas. Five days later, I started having a neck pain feeling like a line starting from the corner of my jaw below my ears to the center point of throat below my adam's apple. The wisdom tooth removed was in my left jaw, and the related pains were in my left side.
My haemoglobin has been low for many years(atleast) and becomes okay after a 3 months iron supplement. It will become low again. I was diagnoised with TMJ jaw problem(jaw pain, ringing in the ears) 8 monthd back. I wear a splint for it. My TSH as of now is 18.26(ref range 0.35-5.50), free T3 is 2.10(ref range 2.3-4.2) free T4 is 0.87(ref range 0.89-1.76) and haemoglobin 11.4(range 12.0-15.). My muscle pain is extreme that I cannot carry even a small bag.
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.
I just seem to think somehow my headaches and now gland swollen are related to thyroid?? My jaws always tingle now for a week and jaw pain in left for weeks now. Thought TMJ at one point. Have you heard of any side effects from the radioactive pill you take with the test??
The thing that scares me also is I had a benign tumor in my L Peritod gland 22 yrs ago removed and this pain and sensation is just a scary flash back.
Thank you soo much!!
I have hypothyroidism andI have jaw problems as it is....I can't open my mouth that wide or my jaw will pop on the left side, but usually I don't have too much pain (just stiffness) unless I eat something tough. At the beginning of this week, I woke up with jaw pain, and now, underneath my chin (almost by the pulse point) I have pain. Does anyone know what this could be?
I hope I explained my symptoms well enough!
Thanks!
For the last several months I have been experiencing neck pain, some swelling, sore raspy throat feeling, pain in the ears, jaw and just about every possible symptom of hypo and hyperthyroid. The only lab work done is as follows:
TSH. 0.771
Normal range based on Labcorp 0.450 - 4.500
Triiodothyronine, free, serum. 2.9
Normal range 2.0 - 4.4
T4, free, direct. 1.34
Normal range 0.82 - 1.
Definitely not my thyroid. I have herniated discs w/ stenosis and nerve root compression in my neck (likely from the sport I played for some time). I also have a jaw issue due to some major TMJ from dental work done 7 years ago that has caused clenching of teeth and jaw in my sleep. I've been considering surgery for both, since conventional and alternative treatments are only doing so much. Neither were caused from a thyroid issue for certain.
55%) when I went to a cardiologist because of jaw pain and heart palpitations. I am a 29 year old female, my total cholesterol is 152 and HDL is 77. Blood pressure is normal. My parents both have high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and my paternal grandfather died of a heart attack in his 50s. The jaw pain is only on the right side and only when I exercise, but the palpitations can be anytime. I am taking armour thyroid for hypothyroid, as well as Frova for frequent migraine headaches.
It is there every day but sometimes it is far worse. It is always swollen just along the top of my jaw/bottom of my cheek. I had thyroid cancer 5 years ago and had a complete thyroidectomy. 14 lymph nodes were removed and 3 had cancer. I was on levoxyl but was switched to synthroid when levoxyl was no longer available. I noticed the swelling around the time of the med change. My thyroid Dr. says there is no relation.
If the pain I am experiencing is swollen lymph nodes, how would I know. The pain I feel is right under my jaw, kinda tonsil area. My throat feels fine and I can swallow fine. If only I could get my appetitte back I would do a ton of swallowing! hahahaha Did you ever get symptoms of the cancer, even after you were diagnosed? What lead you to get a diagnosis if you felt fine?
Issues with the airway (even something like acid reflux), infection of the blood vessels there are less common causes of pain. A tooth issue such as an abscess can result in pain. Issues with thyroid or parathyroid can cause pain in that location as can a lymph node. So, it is best to see a doctor if this continues. Gentle stretching may help in the mean time. Let us know how you are doing.
5 and a half years ago, I was diagnosed with cystic thyroid nodules. I had a biopsy done of three of them and was told they were benign but to come back to have them looked at after six months. Life got in the way, and after five and a half years of dealing with pains, hoarseness after speaking shorter and shorter amounts, jaw and ear pain, I finally caved and went to an ENT. I was told to get a cat scan, which then led to me going for the follow-up.
