Pain, Pain Go Away

For over a wee now I have been dealing with a heap of pain. My left eye hurts, my temple, my cheek, my ear, my jaw, they all hurt.
I have been told I have tmd, something they used to called tmj. My jaw joint is out of place.
They were hoping that steroids would help with the swelling and pain but apparently not for me. It makes it really hard to focus on anything.
The good news is, it doesn't hurt all the time, just most of the time. I am still on a soft diet and I carry a heating pad around with me.
Hopefully the pain will subside soon and I can get back to my everyday life. I really, really don't want to go to a surgeon but I guess I will if I have to.
So, how is life going for everyone out in mylot land?

I feel ya; literally @HazySue . My right jaw has been dislocated for years and now with my skull plates diminishing due to osteoporosis, my left one is too. When it really hurts is when I bite down or chew food. The jaw joints snap in and out of place, sending pain all over the place.

@HazySue When I went to the doctor yesterday I brought up about the plates causing more problems and he didn't have a solution except to keep taking my Fosamax, Vitamin D3 and Calcium. This will be 9 months I've been on that and it doesn't seem to be doing any good.

@nanette64 Have you tried getting another opinion? It is awful to have to go through the pain for this period of time.

I'm so sorry you are going through that. Can't imagine being in pain most of the time.

i think i have it, too, but on the right. and i notice that stress can trigger it. although i don't have any swelling, when the pain gets distracting i take medicine and sleep it off.

@HazySue i think i do. the pain starts on the right jaw joint then spread to my eyebrows and nose bridge, and the back of the ear.

I'm so sorry. When my jaw hurts if feels as though my entire head is going to explode. Thankfully, that's a rare occurrence and mostly due to sinus infections that radiate into my jaw. But you're right, it's a miserable feeling. I hope you find relief quickly.
