prednisone jaw pain

Often times when PR is misdiagnosed the patient may have Rheumatoid arthritis or Lupus SLE. Especially with Lupus TMJ and jaw pain are definitely involved. Do get the the pains when you breathe checked out as that could be a result of lung or heart involvement.

Can someone just explain why i would feel pain in my head when i tap my jaw with my hand. Anywere on my jaw if i hit it with my hand i feel a jolt of pain in my head?? But i can move my jaw around perfectly so i know its not a jaw problem its almost like something is vibrating into my skull when i hit my jaw.

Let us know what the doctor said. My jaw also hurts along with neck and back pain and also the front of my neck is under muscle strain constantly. Just had the C4-C7 fusion and didn't help jaw pain at all. Would like to hear what your doc said. Thanks!

However you need to check out with your Doctor to find out the cause of pain and swelling of the jaw. Hope this helps. Take care.

I was only supposed to be taking 60mg. I have sharp pain in chest, neck, and jaw when trying to move around. I get extremely short of breath and it hurts to breath. I have developed some sores in my mouth and on my genitalia. I am extremely tired and weak. What could this be?

I had severe pain in my tongue, chin and jaw. It was difficult for me to open my mouth, much like when I had my wisdom teeth removed. When the swelling feeling is not there, I can open my mouth fine with no pain. Some times it is swelling with extreme pain, some times it is just swelling and sometimes it is just pain.

I called the pharmacist and he said prednisone should not be the cause of any pain I am having. Would this nodule cause so mych pain ? adn IF it spread to lymph node could this be my pain too.

I have been dealing with the intense neuralgia type pain, with pain killers and NSAIDs. The very intense pain is now reduced to pain mainly around the ear, throat and jaw. The facial palsy however has not improved. I still tape my eye closed at night, and use drops and Jel throughout the day I am 71 years old, what are the chances of complete recovery or even partial improvement ?

She no longer has headaches but still has slight jaw pain and double vision. How long does it take for the prednisone to work and will her vision return back to normal? Has anyone else had their vision return back to normal after suffering from giant cell arteritis/vasculitis and how long did it take?

I will go see a cardiologist next week. She did do an EKG and my HR was normal. I have burning stabbing pain under my jaw line, entire neck sides, throat sides and behind my ears, the pain runs all the way to the back of the head. They did an MRI of the neck and everything was okay. But when she felt my neck under my jaw line, it hurts when she just touches the area. She says she is pretty sure it is inflamed arteries. What can you tell me about this issue?

Thank you so much, those who've given me support. I really need it. Saw the ENT today. There is no mass in my face, though I didn't think there was, as a mass doesn't form in less than a week. Neither he nor the radiologist know what's causing the swelling. Could be an infection, but if it is I'm already on an antiobiotic, and the right one, apparently. If it's a virus, just have to wait it out. I'm already on Prednisone and pain killers, the right choices too.

Last week, I woke one morning with a ball of pain in my neck, below the ear, behind the jaw. At first, I thought I slept on it wrong. By Thursday, my jaw was killing me and my teeth on the top and bottom were hurting. I figured my TMJ was flaring up. Well, by Friday, it felt like there was pressure with the pain, so I thought maybe I was getting an abscess. I went to the dentist.

I am concerned. I have ear pain, and dizziness with some jaw pain and some tingling in my arm and fingers.. This is Making my head feel like it's swimming. I have been to see my Dr. and he has put me on Methylprednisolone tablets. A six day dose. When I first started them the dizziness seem to go away. The pain in my left ear is better than my right one. I feel great when I wake up. I go to the gym and everything is fine but as the morning goes on I begin to get symptoms.

Sunday March 20 at approx 2am I woke up with pain in my mouth left side. It felt like it was coming from two teeth. One upper and one lower and radiated around. Pain was strong for about three hours. After taking Motrin and alleve the pain dulled and I went back to sleep. When I awoke the pain was still there so I called the dentist. I saw the dentist on Monday and she sent me directly to endontist assuming I needed a root canal.

I've noticed that after 3 months of daily prednisone that I have developed hair on my upper lip and jaw line. Has anyone else experienced side effects like this? I don't see how it will go away on it's own. How do you treat unwanted facial hair? This is quite upsetting to me. Thanks!

Sinus allergies also cause neck muscle tension and pain that spreads to the scalp, causes lymph nodes to swell and put pressure on nerves that cause ear and jaw pain. Allergies can trigger pain in the face, ear, neck, head/scalp and jaw/tmjd, as well as put pressure on the perotid glands and salivary glands. I've had some triggered by using prednisone to help treat sinus and lung infections.

Both ankles are swollen, right hand 3 fingers are swollen and 2 joints, now left hand is red and painful on verge of swelling. My jaw pain, neck and shoulders are now painful. Really hope I can get in to Rheumatologist very soon. Only taking Vicogin for pain. Any more advise would be appreciated.

Since last Sunday (6 days now), I have had a strong headache on the left side of my head, just above my left ear. It is like an intermittent jab that make me stop for a moment what I am doing. There are no other apparent symptoms. Usually, I don't take any pain medications. However, I have been taking Advil since then, even though the pain is not gone. Could you tell me the symptoms of a blood clot, stroke or any idea what this pain may be related with?

Need advice please. Rash on trunk with concentration on stomach and breasts (rash was pink/red and hurt when clothes touched it, not pimply and not in a band or just one side of body) and sudden joint pain beginning 6/8. Went to urgent care on 6/12 because rash was worse and so fatigued I was having a hard time functioning. Normal blood work. IV to hydrate me, motrin for pain-dx'd as viral exanthem. Rash, fatigue, migratory joint pain continued.

Ear was thoroughly irrigated and some ' matter' came out. ear drum was dull and non transparant.Continue using drops, sinus irrigation, flonaise, sudaphed, ibuprofen.-Monday week 2- severe pain, pressure not getting better at all. diagnosis was middle ear infection with the eustachian tube affected.

I went to a specialist that thought it was tmj, then a different jaw specialist that said nothing to do with my jaw . A neurolagist couldn't figure it out and told my just to think of my cup as half full!!! I have seen a few specialist that more or less threw their hands up. The only dr that has given me a somewhat resonable answer was an oral pathologist. She said i have Atypical trigeminal neuralga and put me on these drugs that quite frankly make me high.

s worse), and the symptoms of Giant Cell Arteritis have gotten worse since I started on Prednisone. (sharp eye pain in both eyes now-pressure in temples, pain in temples going into the jaw). I don't know what is causing what any more. Has anyone had this cluster of diseases and had similar reactions. I do know that Prednisone can cause some of these symptoms.

Shortly after she began feeling better, she woke up one morning with a severe headache in her right temple and it hurt to open her jaw. We went to the emergency room, they tested her vision, eye pressure, and had a CT scan. All the tests were fine. The ER doctor said all her symptons pointed towards temporal arteritis, but said it was unlikely, because of her age. He put her on 60 mg of prednisone, and arranged to have her see her regular Dr. We went to see her regular Dr.
