What are the symptoms of TMJ?
Patient: Hello about 2 weeks ago i noticed just above my cheek bone was sore like it was a bruise but it wasnt. When i touch it is pain beyond pain. I get shooting pains to my eye and a severe headache righ after. Its horriblebut i have tmj also could that be an issue Doctor: Hello,  As due to inflammation at the TMJ there will be trouble to the facial nerve and this could be the reason for the cause do the symptoms. I will advise getting it examined. Also, there is one more factor which works here is the trigeminal neuralgia which is little different than the facial nerve symptoms but that also is excruciating pain. Getting it examined by a neurologist will be of advice and sooner medication will be advised.  Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
