Hello all,
I found this site in desperation as I
have many questions that need answering! I
was wondering if anyone out there could
possible offer me some advice or shine
some light on this condition of mine.
Foremost, i've never had any problems wih
my neck or jaw until mid way through this
year, I'm a student and I was playing
rugby for my university and suffered a
masive clash of heads making a tackle,
afterwards my cheek bone was swollen and i
was a little concust but thought nothing
of it. However once the swelling had gone
down (nearly a week later) I started
getting blinding headaches like migraines
around my temples and then they shifted to
the very back of my head, and the muscles
in my neck get so tight they feel like
chicken bones some days. But also at the
same time, I felt sick all the time,
although I wasnt being, sick, often i
would make myself sick hoping that they
feeling would go away. That was nearly 5
months ago and i have been to the doctors
many times and they say i have a tmj
disorder. But would this effect my stomach
and lower abdomen, it souds more like
gastroenteritis and my stools are well..
not normal. I was wondering could I have
tmj and be sufering a stomach/intestines
problem as well. The sickness seems to
come and go but it always has a lot of
wind and pain attached to it, also i feel
weak and fatigued all the time, i cant do
any exercise at all which is extremly rare
for me. Ive tried jogging again recently,
but I am no where near as fit as i was and
i struggle and get out of breath easily,
also my neck throbs after running and i
feel sick way down in my abdomen. In
addition to all these joyous symptoms i
get eye floaters (90% of the time) excess
drool (its driving my girlfriend mad)
tiredness and lack of happiness. My wisdom
teeth have just stared bursting through my
gums at the back and i noticed there isnt
alot of room back there, could this be
contributing to the tmj? Anyways ive
rambled for too long already, but this
seems the right place to be, if anyone can
answer my questions hopefully its you
guys. Many thanks in advance.

Hey Hi There And Welcome. Posted: 07-21-07 10:23am
Hey hello there. i'm cindy. I'm not a doc
or anything. but it sounds to me your
massive head clash might have done
something. when this happened to me, long
ago my cheek was swollen,lots of symptoms
you have and you have got to get your jaw
bone checked and your UPPER neck. It
sounds like that head clash might have
thrown something out of alignment, like
your jaw may be dislocated or your neck. i
would go first to a bone doc, chiropracter
or osteopath. get that jaw and neck
checked.i think you may have suffered a
head trauma like me. other memebers will
be along soon, maybe they have some ideas
too.Hang in there, kiddo. love cindy

Lots of strange symptoms come from a
tmj-neck problem.... like the drooling,the
floaters, the stomache i dont know.? i
even had trouble breathing. if you break
your neck you dont breathe. um if you want
a place to go look go to here. now the
reason i am sending you there is a fellow
over in austrailia, i think he even played
rugby or something like that ,put together
this giant site. the same kind of thing
happened to him. he is very nice to email
and very knowledgeable too. you and your
girlfriend could give it a glance. when
you get there you have to read his... my
story. not saying you have this, but its
worth a look or consideration. love cindy

Hey Posted: 07-22-07 14:13pm
sounds like that was one hard head butt.
you should see a chiropractor--namely an
atlas orthoganist. The jaw must have been
really hurt by the trauma. Id also
recommend seeing a neuromuscular dentist.
if you need help finding any of these let
me know. im more than willing to help--pm
me or email me at anytime.
