Posted by Dougs Girl

I have a lot of trouble with my ears because I have TMJ really bad. I get riniging sometimes. But mostly they feel stuffed especially my right ear. It's a nightmare. Nothing I've tried helps. Does anyone else have TMJ?

---

Can you tell me what TMJ feels like. I have been grinding my teeth for years and sometimes I wake up with my jaw clenched. I get headaches when I grind my teeth too. Maybe this is whats causing it.

The jaw clicks and locks. It does come from grinding the teeth and clenching the jaw. It also causes headaches, facial pain, ear pain and stuffiness. A lot of times I feel like Ihave an ear infection. I was told by an ear doctor that I had TMJ. I know stress has a lot to do with it. And also my bite is 'off' I know that a dentist can make a bite plate, but I've heard they don't help and are very uncomfortable to wear. My ears have been so bad recently that I'm going crazy. So I understand what you are going through.

I have had it for the last three years...I cant stand it, but I make sure I dont get all worked up and I try to relax and focus on somthing else...

I am also part deaf in both ears..I was born with it. But I read lips so it helps!!!
Just try and relax...I hope you feel better!!!

Thanks girls. I think I have TMJ but I know its not what caused although I do think its making it worse. Anyone ever try acupuncture??

---

Yes, I just recently went to a chiropractor and accupuncturist. I'm so desperate for help and someone suggested I try it. It didn't help me at all. I was just getting more nervous and upset going there.
So far I find nothing that helps my TMJ and the more stressed I get...the worse it gets.
Songstress, how are you feeling today?

Hey girls....just letting you know that I am an Audiologist in Plainview...if any of you suffer from tinnitus its a good idea to go to an ENT and get some testing done. If you want to FM me about it, please feel free. This is what I do every single day. Or if you want to make an appointment, you really should. It's always a good idea to get that checked out.

Ok i have a question...i have this thing that FREQUENTLY happens with my ear, it is the weirdest thing and fh always laughs when i say it because it sounds funny. But behind my ear, like right under it, it will get a bit swollen and very hard for a few minutes sometimes a little longer than a few minutes and it will hurt ALOT...its the weirdest thing and i have no clue what this can possibly be, ive never heard of anybody having such a problem

Well I believe that's a gland under your ear. I've gotten swollen around there when I'm sick sometimes and it does hurt. But that wouldn't be a good explaination why you get it frequently?!?!
