Bad Neck, Shoulder, Back, Sternum Pain Posted: 03-13-07 14:11pm
Hello, I am really nervous right now! My
jaw has been staying pretty loose, but
right now everyting hurts, jaw included. I
had a sinus infection last week and now my
stomach is giving me horrible problems. I
have pressure in my chest, pain on my
sternum, and when I swallo, I can feel the
pain down in my chest. Has anyone had
this? I also have acid reflux, and this
all seems aggravated by my TMJ. I'm just
want a little reassurance that I'm not
going to die. Thanks for any help! Amanda

Hi There Posted: 03-13-07 18:38pm
let me assure you You are NOT going to
die. What kind of doctors are you seeing
for your tmd? If you get to a good
chiropractor he can help you get over all
of those symptoms and perhaps even
recommend a good tmj doc too. I know that
if it wasnt for my doctor id never be
where i am with this. keep us informed of
how things are going.

Hi Amanda,
Sinus infections or just about anything to
do with our sinuses seem to mess around
with our TMJ. Your TMJ might have flared
up so badly it affected your neck,
shoulders and even swallowing. I almost
always have shoulder pain even when my TMJ
is calm. I can't give you any idea about
the stomach pains unless you are just so
tense and nervous that you are getting
stomach aches over this. That is a good
possibility, but I must recommend that you
see your doctor. You should be checked
out.
