I've had this ongoing headache at the top of my head for a long time now. When the pain is gone it's just a dull achy type feeling at the top of my head. I do have TMJ. Is this a common TMJ symptom? Anyone else have this problem?

I have tightness behind my right ear and humming constant for 1.5 years. I don't know ifs its from tmj or neck tho.

yes this is pretty common for TMJ. There are a lot of muscles that attatch from your neck to your jaw, up through your head. I have pain on top of the left and right side of my head - where it is actually tender to the touch.

Keep stretching every day and there's a good chance all of these pains will work themselves out over time.

Be well
