When i have my earaches , sometimes after i get this itchyness and like my muscles are moving.. i can feel it in my ear.. any ideas?

I have two splints on... GO away pain!

How long does it take to me completely symptom free of earaches too with splint therapy and casual chiro appointments..?

So drained , so dead of this.

I don't really have earache pain so I can't comment on that, or how soon before things improve. But I too have a lot of itchiness and stuffiness in my inner ears. Sometimes it feels like they tubes have collapsed in on themselves - very odd feeling like congestion or hayfeverish symptoms in the tubes - and they would itch like crazy in a place I could not possibly scratch. I've always believed it was allergies until my recent TMJ diagnosis. I would think this is nerve-related, and will abate as your other symptoms do. Do you have any allergy symptoms also?

Hey there nynavey

No i don't have any allergy problems at all...

Someone once told me the itchiness is a good sign when you are having splint therapy as your jaw is shifting to the right position.

I'm surprised why i don't get headaches and just the earaches...i think my jaws were pushed so far back they compressed on nerves creating ear pain.. Stupid jaws hey .. hopefully we both feel great too.. sending good energy your way!!!

Much Love !
