Not sure exactly where to post this, but this seems like the best place as my local doctor originally thought my problem was TMJ. However an x-ray was done which disproved that. Havn't had anything else from them other than "wait and see", which isn't getting anywhere.

For about 3 months now I've been having problems with what seems to be mainly my neck muscles, but basically includes the whole facial area. From this, I have a constant headache that doesn't really ever go away.

My jaw constantly feels like it is not "set" right, sometimes applying pressure one way or the other helps, but not for very long. Often the muscles of my neck can be seen standing out, and I can't relax them. When I can, its only for the time I concentrate on keeping them that way, which usually doesn't last long.

For most of this time, my ears have also been rining, this has gotten particularly bad in the past week or so. Over the weekend I couldn't hear much at all out of my right ear, and the ongoing pressure in them was particually bad. The left ear does seem to be getting better - its mostly the right one recently. Also for the past week or so it has been painful to swallow, varying depending on how tense things are.

Overall, its getting worse. It used to be OK in the mornings and get much worse as the day goes on, but now it basically starts at full strength and then still gets much worse than it was before.

I don't know what to do next about this, so suggestions as to what specialists to see are welcome if not specific info as to what might be causing it. I just want to get something done about fixing it, or at least some relief.
