I have been suffering from TMD for over 10 yrs now. I have had two open joint operatins, the last to reshape the condile after years of arthritic degeneration. Due to the yrs of trauma on the joint, I also had all the "soft Tissue" or rather scar tissue removed and had a graft from my hip transplanted into the joint to be used as the meniscus.
Needless to say I still suffer from incredible pain and headaches today. I have seen many Dr.'s across the U.S. and I have told them that when ever I get a headache, my Rt. eye drifts as if it were a lazy eye. And this has happened ever since I started having headaches, and every Dr. I have seen has not been able to give me a difinitive answer as to why this happens to me. I develop double vision, and that doesn't help the headache if you know what I mean.
I have seen eye Dr.'s, had too many MRI's, C-scans, and other tests to remember, but the only answer I get is that maybe it is being caused by pressure on trigeminal nerve, or one of the other optical nerves.
Sorry I can;t help with a diagnosis, but our cases are unique but rare. Hang in there!
