I have bilateral jaw pain that goes from my ears to my chin, ear popping like I am at high altitude,as well as neck pain and have developed stomach and problems with my esophagas. I also feel like my voice is paralyzed and at times I am very tongue tied and my voice has changed drastically. Just not feeling like myself. Female, athletic, 51, non smoker, non drinker, Kris
Hi Dear, Understanding your concern. As per your query you have pain in jaw and neck which is spreading to chin, ear and other areas which is mainly due to temporomandibular joint dislocation, or it could be due to because of the neuralgia in relation trigeminal nerve. Nothing to be panic anything, consult dentist once and get it evaluated. Go for radiographs like OPG and TMJ views to confirm the diagnosis. Start taking anti-inflammatory analgesics for the joint dislocation. Do mouth stretching exercises. Do not eat hard substances and do not open your jaw too wide. Do a Luke warm hot and cold fermentation to suppress swelling and pain. Hope your concern has been resolved. Get Well Soon. Best Wishes,
