Help! Can Tmj Cause Nose/sinus Pain? Posted: 06-23-06 03:30am
I have been getting really bad jaw pains
every time I have a migraine for years,
and now I have started getting earaches,
stuffy ear and pain on the actual ear not
inside it, plus pains at the back of my
head and also top of my back.
I have been having quite bad pain around
the sinus area and when I bite down on my
left side, it hurts my sinus area, could
this be a tmj problem and has anyone else
ever had it?? I am going to the doctors
today but have the feeling I am going to
get fobbed off!

Yes, very much so. Tmj also mimics
migraines sad to say. You should see a
tmj specialist (dentist). Do all the
research you can regarding tmj. It is
overlooked frequently by medical people
and even many tmj "specialists" are not as
educated as they could be. Check out the
support groups on-line and read the
current and past postings for some great
information.
I pray you will get the help you need.
God bless...
