I'm not sure if all these things I'm
experiencing are really related or not,
but maybe some of you with experience can
tell me...
Started off with irritated eyes (red all
the time).
Throat swollen (but no real difficulty
swallowing, just breathing difficult a
bit).
Severe sinus pressure causing constant
headache for a few days, but I did not
have any problems breathing. I didn't
feel "stuffed" up.
Noticed a bit of pain when I pressed onto
my jaw muscles.
5th day of sinus pressure, it was suddenly
gone. However, my jaw pain suddenly
become more pronounced.
My jaw felt stiff and I tried opening my
mouth to flex it out, but I heard a small
crack, and then felt slight pain. After
that crack, now my jaw makes this funny
squishy fluid sound when I move my jaw
side to side. I can feel an achey pain
when I clench my teeth or when I open my
jaw wide or move it in a weird way.
Throat swelling came down a bit. Sinus
pressure subsided almost completely, but
comes back a little bit once in a while.
Eyes are still red. The prominent symptom
I have now is the jaw thing.
Anyone else have these types of symptoms?

Yes I have ----not sure if the throat was
directly related but yes. you sound like
you have muscular problems. I can find a
good nmd for you. just let me know. put
heat or ice on the jaw joint --it will
help. if it hurts use some aleve or
ibuprophen.

What is a "nmd"? Sorry... new to this
kind of thing.
For your throat thing... did you also
have a bit of hoarseness in your voice?
Mild cough once in a while and a bit sore?

Sorry--I slide so easily into
abbreviations----A neuromuscular
dentist(nmd) I did have a bit of
hoarseness. I notice that i have
congestion a lot as well.

Thanks for the info! However, I live in
Canada, so I'm not sure if you can suggest
any nmd's (abbreviations are fun!) near my
home.
I'm glad all my symptoms have manifested
and started to point to a more tangible
cause. Before the sore jaw thing
happened, I was lost as to what is causing
all these weird symptoms.
I'm going to see both my doctor and
dentist soon and I'll be sure that they
check for any tmj disorders as a (very)
possible cause.
Thanks again!
