Hi all
Hope you had a Happy New Year!
I havent posted in awhile but need some support just now it possible as have been feeling like crap lately again...
I suffer a lot of neck/shoulder/head/jaw pain due to a TMJ problem which I am presently wearing a splint for to help with the symptoms. This is helping a lot as if I forget to wear it at night, I do feel very dizzy, jaw pain, neck and head pain etc etc etc...
However, over the 2nd part of last year I felt I was getting lots of funny little noises and sensations in my head and all on the side of my jaw problem. I am not vey good at explaining these sensations but over the last few months I feel like I het little squezzing pains which feel hot and make me feel dizzy when I get them. I feel I can hear a little clicking noise on this side a lot. Just very strange symptoms to be honest and over the last few days I feel my tongue feels weird and I thought I was having a stroke. These sensations pass after a minute or so, therefore I think maybe its just anxiety?
I feel very vague and as if my neck is in a vice and my neck and shoulders just feel tight. My whole upper body just feels weak sometimes. Could this be due to tension or something else?
I have mentioned these symptoms to my GP and again because I have had a MRI scan almost 2 years ago they say its nothing to worry about and I saw a Neurologist in November, he basically said my symptoms were somatic and caused by my anxiety.... I have also told the TMJ specialist and he said because I dont get these symtpoms all day everyday then its nothing to worry about as it will just be TMJ issues!!
I feel I am going off my head and maybe I am just making them out to be worse than they are... but I feel the dizziness and weird sensations in my head are more prominent now but where do I go from here? I feel If I go back to my Gp I will be branded a nuisance? I have tried massages.. maybe I could try a chiropractor?
I do feel stress makes these symptoms worse and to be honest I have been gradually feeling more anxious and stressed over the Xmas and New Year period, just like most people. I have been really worrying about my health again and I feel the 'fear' of health problems has got a grip of me again.
Does anyone understand these symptoms or had something similar?
Any help would be appreciated.
Take care
