I have been having terrible temporal pain on both sides. I have been using Ibuprofen and moist heat. They both work but they do not last long. In a few hours it all starts again. I feel like my head is in a vice most of the time. I was given Percocet for my pain but afraid to use it.

Using the mouth guard has made my symptoms worse since using it last week, it was adjusted the other day but has not helped. I stopped using it during the day but still have the same problem.
My ear pain is not as bad but does come and go.

I am also experiencing pain when I talk. If I start to talk I feel pain in the jaw area and I have to stop. I have also found that people are having a hard time understanding me when I do talk.

One other question my 2 teeth that I had knocked loose are sensitive but the dentist says there is nothing wrong with them, can this be caused by TMJ.
