Hello,
Its been one year that I have been suffering from intense pain in my jaw. Jaw, and throat is tender and it pains right under my jaw espc in corners and middle. My neck and shoulder are stiff and it hurts. I have migraine like headaches and ear pain too. Sometimes ringing noise..
I went to many ortho and physiotherapists but nothing has helped. I have minor disc bulge at C3,C4 and have taken various treatments and showed to several doctors, they tell me that my cervical issue is not much and it should have been sorted considering i am very young (29) but sadly nothing has helped. Recently I got done with opg and cbct of my jaw and face. Can my neck pain be related to tmj? If yes, which tooth should be removed ? Will that align my jaw? I tried night guard for a day but it increased my condition. Neck and jaw pain causing me too much stress and anxiety. I am unable to sit for long hours. I also feel little weakness in hand and fingers sometimes.
Thanks in advance for your help.

Hello.. Welcome to practo..
I advice you some measures before visiting dentist..
1. Avoid being stress.
2. Have a good sleep.
3. Avoid opening your mouth wide.
4. Take soft diet for two days.
5. Chew slowly and on both sides..
6. Avoid clenching your teeth,, if you have this habit..
7. Drink more water.
Follow these for one week. Stress will aggrevate the pain.. So stop thinking about this pain.
After one week, there will be some relief in your pain. If there is relief, then the pain might be only due to dental problem..
So continue with your dental treatment..
In case, if the pain didn't relief, it may suggest that, pain is not due to dental problems.. In that case, you can go to general physician..
But the tmj pain for a long time can cause pain in neck, head, throat and ear..
Consult me for further details.. Thank you..
