10 Symptoms of TMJ
Symptom #7: Facial Pain
Aching joints and muscles can lead to considerable discomfort, with the potential for excruciating pain. Pain can be particularly unbearable if it is ever-present, potentially leading to a significant drop in the quality of life. Such pain is a fairly common symptom of TMJ disorder, and it can be very unpleasant indeed.
The pain associated with TMJ disorder will likely affect just one side of the face. It often occurs after eating or speaking for a long period and can be severe enough to limit the use of the jaw. The pain can also spread to the neck and to the ears and can be unbearable.
