I hate this junk!! My main complaints are
dizzyness and muscle spasms. My head
muscles spasms about and inch above my
ears. I also get cold tingles on top of my
head at times. And spasms in my ear
canals. Makes me get dizzy and want to
pass out. Also neck pain, and arm
numbness. And even pec spasms. Main pain
and clicking for me is on left upper jaw.
Lately the right lower has been inflamed
and hurting too. It was spasming
yesterday. Hottub and muscle relaxers is
all that helps.
My came from a tooth i had pulled a year
and half ago. My bite was never the same
after that. I had a bridge put in after
all the jaw problems and it helped some
but still lots of problems.
SO anyone get head spasms???????

oh yes--i get it all the time-----i think
that you should get a chiropractor and a
neuromuscular dentist. they could put you
on a muscle relaxer

Jaw Pain Posted: 05-15-08 11:05am
I have had this same feeling for the past
6-8 months and I had given up hope. Just
recently I finally found a Dr that had a
clue and diagnosed me as having TMJ and
boy do I feel so much better having an
idea of what this may be. No offense to
anyone but I am glad you have similar
symptoms because I was going nuts thinking
I was alone. My problem was caused by
chewing on straws after I quit smoking. I
know it sounds dumb but it is true. I
would chew on straws from the am to the
pm. All day!!! I guess I have done some
real damage and now I am suffering. I
have been on the emotional roller coaster
of TMJ symptoms since Nov '07. My
symptoms started with a pressing feeling
on the right side of my head and a
thumping/pulsating feeling just above my
ear. I thought it was an anuerism or
brain tumor so of course my anxiety kicked
in full effect and I thought I was dying.
I would have serious attacks so I went to
a Dr and they put me on Lorezapam to help.
It worked but the pain was still there.
I went to a neurologist and they sent me
for an MRI and it came back negative and
the Dr told me to relax nothing was wrong
and basically sent me away saying I was
crazy. Not fun!!! So I went along taking
my meds and being a zombie. It was very
frustrating. I went to a bunch of
different Drs and they had no clue what it
could be. I finally went to a normal Dr
who was really nice and worked out what it
was. It was like a light bulb went off
when she asked if I chewed on anything
regularly. I said damn straws!!! Since
then I have been going to ENTs and
dentists and they havent given me a valid
way to get this to go away. I guess it is
something I will have to live with. The
one good thing is that my anxiety has
subsided because Ihave an idea of what it
is now. The best fix so far has been a
night guard which relieves my jaw while
sleeping. Beyond that the other good
thing to do is get back massages and take
advil. Thanks for posting you guys
definitely have the same symptoms and it
feels good to know I am not crazy. With
that said keep searching for a fix and I
will let you know how I progress. Good
luck...
