Okay, I am pretty positive I have TMJ. It alllll started after my wisdom tooth extraction (all 4, go figure.
) Anyway, I have a few to many of the symptoms. I am going to my dentist for a cleaning the 13th of September, so I'll ask him about it then. I am curious: Is TMJ bad for health? Can it seriously harm a human being, or is it simply just an annoyance to the individual?
My symptoms are as follows: (copied and pasted from the sticky)
- blurring of vision
- "cluster-type" headache
- posterior headaches, back of head, with or without shooting pains
- inability to open the jaw smoothly or evenly (mine feels like it's avoiding obstacles (((goes from side to side)))
- jaw deviates to one side when opening (when fully opened, it points more to the left when looking in mirror)
- looseness and or soreness of back teeth (only soreness, no known looseness)
- clicking, popping jaw joints(only sometimes)
- grating sounds(every time I open)
- ear pain - without infection (only in left ear)
- clogged, stuffy, "itchy" ears, feeling of fullness
- sore throat without infection
- frequent coughing or constant clearing of throat (just recently)
- feeling of foreign object in throat (it feels like theres a piece of plastic on the left side of my throat)
- neck pain Is it abnormal that nearly all of my symptoms seem to occur on the left side? 
. I also have another health issue that produces some of these symptoms. So I have no idea.
