sore jaw, discomfort in biting and chewing, aches in neck ..

Hi,
I was going to suggest it may be your thyroid.But I read your post again and you said you went to an endocronologist.Did they do bloodwork to check your thyroid?
I'm sure they must have.

hi there.. when i went there!! after hearing all the symptoms u had, he did some checks on me.. did a scope down my nose to the throat area to see if there's anything wrong. but everything came up negative according to the specialist. and he mentioned no blood tests need to be done. send me packing home with a few muscle relaxing pills and to reschedule me a appointment this friday.

however my symptoms seems to get worse. my head hurts even more, recently my lymph nodes below my cheek area started to swell, tummy feels bloated. my throat seems to have something there. causing me to have difficulties in swallowing, loss of appetite, tiredness, difficulties in breathing and all this while i am at a loss as in what i am suffering from.

I'm not really sure why they wouldn't do a blood test.I now have no insurance and go to a clinic.Every three months they do a blood test to check my thyroid.(I have hashimoto's thyroiditis,so they check it because,well,I explain it like a car that runs,but sputters out and then I may have to take meds to help it again)Some day I hope to just have it taken out.It's not a big deal to me,because you just take medication.
I never knew how important your thyroid is and how it effects so much of your body.
Anyway,if you'r still having issues,if it were me,I'd insist on a blood test.You can get information on thyroid online.I'm not telling you that's what it is,but I know what I went thru.
Here is a little info:The thyroid gland is located on the front part of the neck below the thyroid cartilage (Adam's apple). The gland produces thyroid hormones, which regulate body metabolism.
I've looked at medicinenet.com in their search box you can put thyroidits and it will give you information.
I find it's good to have information when you talk to a doctor,I just think some are turned off if you say you found it on,or someone told you on the internet.I find for me,depending on the doctor I put it like I've heard this or that.
But if you're still having issues, and this doctor won't do any more for you,I'd go back to your gp.They can even do just the bloodwork.I'm only making suggestions,not really telling you what you should do.No one should do that.It's just that if you're not getting help where you need,sometimes you have to be persistant.I used to just go along with the doctor.They do the best they can.But as a patient, I've had to take on my own responsibility and speak up for myself.
Check that site out.It'll give you good info.

I started what seems to be the same symtoms 6 days ago. jaw is swollen. My jaw gets tight and hurts when I eat. on day 3, the swelling went down to under my jaw. day 4,5 neck is soar and sometimes feels like I have something in my throat. I do feel tired sometime, but just could be from the discomfort. I did bloodwork and X-Ray, but nothing. I have to wait 1 week to see a ENT. I hope you can shine some light on the subject so I don't have to go through this continuous pain in the neck stuff,,...
