Yep me too. I am being treated for TMJ disorder as well so I hope that will help the jaw and facial pain as well as the headaches and ear pain.

He thinks its tmj also but they haven't said what the treatment will be and I'm so scared feel so stupid.

For my TMJ disorder I ended up seeing an Oral and Maxillofacial Surgeon. I never had an MRI for it. But I did have xrays which showed healthy structure and so he put me on ibuprofen and muscle relaxant. I am also having a specialty bite guard made. The ones I have used in the past haven't been great for me but he feels this new one will work better for me. We will see. I was referred to him by my dentist because my teeth are loose from grinding at night and I went to my dentist about it at first thinking I needed a root canal or had an infection there. But hoping to get this sorted out this year so I have one less thing to worry about.

I'm on a wait list to see someone about my jaw. I definitely need a mouthguard I think the ones u do urself are hopeless
