In Need of Help-sore Throat On One Side For Months. Posted: 03-02-06 19:36pm
New here and in need of some help. Three
months ago I went to the md and said I had
pain on rt side when I swallowed it was
around the ear- without even looking at me
or running some tests right away the
answer was tmj. Went to an ent and he put
a scope down my throat and sinuses and
didnt see any abnormalities, even did a ct
scan and did not make a tmj diagnosis-
pretty much unsure.
Now is where I am panicking it is terrible
pain when I swallow on right side of my
throat(by my adams apple), and the ear
pain has diminished but it now feels
tender around adams apple also. Should I
go back to the ent or dentist(tmj)? Can a
ent make a tmj diagnosis or is it the
dentist? I was a smoker and this made me
quit because I am freeking out. My jaw
does click alot and ears pop alot also and
there is an upper right tooth that needs
work also. I am hoping it is tmj cause
dont want to even think about the c word.
Hope to hear from ya! Thanks.
