Does a pinched nerve/nerves in the tmj
require one to go to a neurologist? i'm
almost positive i have one as i get crazy
pain shocks sometimes when the jaw moves
in and out of place..

No this doesnt require you to go to a
neurologist.I would try a chiropractor
first--one that has knowlege of tmd--only
after that would i look further

the reason i know there is a pinched nerve
is b/c my eye changes sizes on the
opposite side ...my jaw is dislocated on
the right but my left eye expands on the
left...this is weird i know...a pinched
nerve also is controlling my stomach
muscles to be tight and is ruining
digestion and gives a nerve racking
feeling all day...there are soo many damn
nerves in that region by the ear thats the
messed up part...how can i concentrate
like this when school is coming up...i
refuse to take any drugs occasionally
ativan but this is f*ked up...i may need
arthroscopy i guess to fix this..

You can also have compression in the TMJ area Posted: 09-25-08 02:49am
Hi There,
You can also have a compression along the
TMJ region caused by badly displaced
discs. DId anything like that show up on
an MRI. I have come across a european
textbook that stated that TN can be caused
by badly displaced discs, and by
repositioning those discs that the TN can
disappeared. It all depends some can have
two seperate cases it all depends. But
before surgery I would check out other
avenues, surgery can never be reversed if
it doesn't work out.

i haven't posted in a while but I am still
taking ativan about 4 times a day to
manage the pain...I do have a pinched
nerve due to badly displaced disks and
recently had botox injections that did
nothing. I may go to a new surgeon b/c
this one never checked mris b/c he said
they are useless for this kind of thing.
Although I have snapping cracking and
popping but the tmd does not bother me its
the underlying nerve pain.
