Does a muscle trigger point cause these?
I have been dealing with ear pain, ringing , ear clogged and fullness, lower jaw pain under the ear lobe and neck for more than an year now..been to ent, physician, neurologist and multiple dentists and dental specialists.
Saw an OMFS and he said it's MPDS. I did physical therapy for 3 weeks in August and that didn't help. So stopped it.
OMFS told me to start PT again.
seeing a PT now and doing dry needling in Scm and surrounding muscles around tmj since March.It hurts under the ear and side of the neck. Its constantly paining inside and outside. All my muscles around the jaw,neck, trap are tight and hard. Pt sessions didn't help.I used to go in with pain of 8 and it reduced to 2 to 3 after the session. It comes back to original intense after a while.
Feel like something poking through and stuck in the throat constantly. Not sure if this throat pain is because of tight Scm. I have biting pressure sensitivity on one Tooth on lower side. does trigger point cause tooth bite sensitivity?

Pls share your reports if you can .
This may be related to cervical problem
Tight scm May cause outer throat pain sometimes
Your symptoms are showing weakening of ligaments and this is leading to multiple area pain
Take systemic session under proper guidance of physiotherapist
Use a cervical pillow
Start doing icing behind neck region
I think you feel that something is moving inside your neck , this is something like chronic weakening if there is nothing else
