| Re: another ? about ear pain and clenching
nik,
Sounds just like me. I had the same thing about 2 weeks ago. I couldn't brush my hair or put mascara on my left side. I told my dentist it was like my hair was sore. He said it is nerve inflammation caused from tmj. The pain and soreness in the muscles, ligaments and such in your neck, shoulders, chest, back, all tmj. I have had them all for off and on for years, and now that I have been in this flare up, they have gotten so intense. Are you being treated for tmj or just by and ent? He may be able to recognize it's tmj, but he won't be able to treat it. I was wondering if you have partials if you have a splint also, or is this a new condition for you. I too am missing my last two teeth on both sides on the bottom, but I have them on the top and that has been a big problem. My mouth is very small and you can't tell the back teeth are even missing but the top ones seem like they don't have anyplace to rest without a splint in. I too only chewed on one side for about a year. That brings alot of problems also. I hope you can get treated for it if you are not being so now. Sounds like you have alot of tmj problems. I wish you lots of luck getting everything figured out.
Karen
