| Re: TMJ and Sinus Drainage
I constantly drain, and have constant throat clearing, especially in the mornings. I haven't figured out what to do yet -- antihistamines make it worse it seems. I don't take decongestants since they make me a little too wired. I also have developed intense itching in my ears. My first symptom was ear pain.
My TMJ doctor never asked me about this. I went to the doctor last week and asked if my ear itching could be related, and she said YES but didn't explain.
She prescribed a muscle relaxer for night time and I wear my splints nightly (one upper and one lower, alternate).
After I looked up ear itching, I also saw that drainage and throat clearing can also be a part of the problem.
I plan at this time to have massages and physical therapy added to my treatment. I am also going to be more diligent about my stretching exercises and also wear my bottom splint more often (can't talk with the top one).
