For those who have TMJ?!
Question: Where do you have pain??
My oral surgeon diagnosed me with tmj after looking at my x rays. I have had pain off and on. When i have the pain it is in these spots:
ear
jaw
on the head behind the ear
down the neck
shoulder
sometimes feeling like my eye hurts too
Are those normal spots to have pain?
What are some good things to do to relieve this pain. I am pregnant, so all i can take is tylenol.
Thanks everyone!

It's probably more your impacted wisdom tooth that's affecting your TMJ which then causes all those pain you are describing. Once you get the offending teeth out, you'll probably find your TMJ slowly correcting itself.
I have had similar pain, one doctor told me TMJ, two other's told me that it wasn't. I'm betting on the teeth, but I would ask another doctor for their opinion.
