Avatar f tn Where to start, approx 4 years ago i was sitting at my friends home when suddenly I experienced what I can only describe as the most horrific pain in the right side of my face, from the side of my nose across my check bone and radiating through my ear, it lasted approx 4/5 seconds, it felt like a burning electric shock, (I was frozen with the impact and sheer force that this pain hit my face, I would of certainly fallen to my knees If I were not already sitting at this time!
Avatar f tn Does anyone have experience of metal implants for a broken jaw (1983),inhibit a MRI scan being performed to diagnose Chiari
Avatar m tn I have had both an MRI and CT scan of the brain within the past six months, both without contrasts. I had the MRI to check for MS or other problems as I suddenly developed body wide twitching muscles. It came back normal. I also had a CT scan at the ER because I temporarily lost vision in my left eye. It came back normal and I was diagnosed with a migraine. For the past month or so, my neck has been sore and stiff.
Avatar m tn s gone on several months and I cannot get an answer as to why. I can hardly even eat because of the pain. My jaw is really weak as well. I'm not sure if this is from tmj or something else. I also have terrible headaches so maybe it is neurological?
Avatar n tn I’ve seen 2 ENTs, 3 physical therapists, 4 different primary care doctors, my dentist, had CT scan, MRI, X ray of jaw, and a swallowing test. Nothing showing nothing helping. They’ve prescribed me xanax, lexapro, 3 different muscle relaxers, steroid pack, 800mg ibuprofen. The only time I have relief is the first few hours when I wake up, symptoms gradually come back throughout the day. I’ve been doing stretches everyday and facial pressure points and different jaw alignment methods.
Avatar n tn I have just been diagnosed with TN. I have had a cat scan and MRI is scheduled. I am on 1200mg/day of Gabapentin. It has helped some but it has not got rid of pain. My pain has a somebperiods where I get a sudden sharp pain in my right ear but I always have a dull, throbbing aching pain in my jaw, cheek, ear, temple. Always with a horrible headache as well. The pain is just unrelenting. I was just wondering how others deal with this?
Avatar f tn Had abscessed tooth on top under gold crown. At the same time bottom gums swelled and I was told that one of my back molars needed extracted. Had 3 teeth pulled. My gums are still swollen on bottom which all doctors say they look pink and healthy. I feel pressure in my jaw. I feel like I'm being strangled in my throat. Now I feel like I'm in a tunnel when I speak. All these symptoms came one after the other and I don't know what to do.
Avatar n tn 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. I also had a fall where I fell and hit the right side of head. Any insights on headache and tn in general.
Avatar n tn So here is my question.....I had a MRI of head (1.5) in june which was clear, and then a MRI (3T) of my spine in August which showed a ruptued disc at C5/6 which is pressing on my spinal cord compressing it by 50 percent....had symptoms of shaky/uncoordinated hands, off balance, numbness, jaw/bottom lip burning......saw a MS specialist in August....everything has come back negative for MS......
Avatar n tn I went to my family Dr and he ordered a CT scan and a MRI. I did my CT scan on Saturday and the Dr called to say that there is bruising on my brain but it is not near the pain at the base of my skull. My MRI is scheduled for next week and the Dr said they will now do a more in depth MRI after finding the bruising. What is your thougts on what is causing my headaches and are they related to the bruising? Why would I have bruising now with no recent head trama?
Avatar f tn The CT scan I thought I would have will now be an MRI. They took two X-rays today of my head to locate the bits of stainless steel in my jaw. The head radiologist said based on their size, location, and composition, an MRI would be safe for me, and an MRI was essential to get a decent chance at a diagnosis. Soooo, the MRI will happen Monday if they can get the new prescription from the ophthamologist.
Avatar m tn im not sure but i think im gonna ask to get some test done like a ct scan or mri just to get this out of my head. it does however seem its getting better very slowly.
Avatar f tn I went back to the doctor this past week, and they did more blood tests which all came back normal. They also referred me to a neurologist to get a CT scan and MRI. They have tried everything. Ibuprofen, exedrin migraine, muscle relaxers, aspirin, prescription migraine medication....nothing has relieved my symptoms. I tried wearing a mouth guard at night because they also mentioned I could be grinding my teeth. Didnt work. The doctor mentioned that it could be temporal arteritis.

Avatar f tn Your temporomandibular joint is a hinge that connects your jaw to the temporal bones of your skull, which are in front of each ear. It lets you move your jaw up and down and side to side, so you can talk, chew, and yawn. Problems with your jaw and the muscles in your face that control it are known as temporomandibular disorders (TMD). But you may hear it wrongly called TMJ, after the joint. Causes of TMD We don’t know what causes TMD.
Avatar m tn Thanks for your comment ,after this filling I was frozen and then 2 weeks later it has come back first it was my jaw was very sore to open then numbness in my lower lip chin and jaw area ..
Avatar f tn I have pain in ear, jaw, numbness on that side of face. Have taken 3 rounds of antibiotics, a round of viral meds and high doses of steroids 5 times in the past 6 months with no relief. A biopsy of a enlarged cervical lymph node resulted in reactive hyperplasia of paracortical Tzone without lymphoma. What should I do??
Avatar f tn I went to the docs yesterday and she says it is protrudeing andhas arranged an mri scan, but the consultant she spoke to has said its v probably thyroid eye disorder.also took blood sample I went to the casualty dept today as I panicked and didnt want to wait for my mri appt. two eye doctors looked, and measured the eyes protrusion , only with a hand held instrument, and they couldnt see a difference in the protrusion, but said it looked bigger,but maybe cos of another reason.
Avatar n tn I guess now I have a indentation in my jawbone from that injection and it has filled with some scar tissue. It showed up finally on the scan that I had. Did you have an injection in your jaw to get you numb? Just wondering if we have the same thing. I have had a few root canals with no problem, this is the first one that gave me a problem and the first one that I had the jaw injection.
Avatar m tn I had my gallbladder removed 3 weeks ago after getting the 16% ejection fraction result of the Hida scan. I was just trying to give a full history of what all has been going on since these pains in my arm,jaw,chest,and back has started. Thank you for your response though.
Avatar m tn Hi, Thank you for your question. For persistent headaches, possibilities like migrainous, cluster, tension, pinched nerve in cervical spine and refractive errors that need to be evaluated thoroughly with the help of a neurologist here. Migraine like headache can be throbbing, one sided of face & head and preceded by aura (starts with blurred vision). Cluster headache may appear as burning, explosive in nature and tear appears from eyes.
