Q: Cheek Bone Pain

Does anyone have cheek bone pain with their tmj? By the end of the
day, my muscles feel like they are tearing away from the cheeks.
My muscles feel so tired.

Yes and it was/is awful. That was where my worst pain was during this last major flare-up of about 3 years. Since I started taking lyrica and my tmj has calmed down a lot, the pain is only occasional now. Intra-oral massage is also very helpful (done by the right massage therapist).

i am a medical mystery..please help
have been suffering with facial pain for 8 months now. Nose pain, cheekbone, eye socket, pain behind eyes, at back of head, forehead pain etc. My gp diagnosed it as sinus probs and have had numerous anti-b's and nasonex spray. Eventually in was referred to ent where i had a camera in nose. The doc said i had pus in my nasal cavity and perscribed a 12 week course of nasal drops and spray with some more anti b's.
I have been back to ENT as no change where i had another camera and another doctor who said the pus had gone and as i have never had any nasal congestion at all with the other symptons, he didnt think it was my sinuses but didnt know what else it could be. He has arranged for me to have a scan on the areas concerned and my brain to try and rule out other things and mentioned it could be neuralgia and i may have to live with it. I have since looked up neuralgia on the net and my symptons dont really match those described.
I am starting to get really worried now that it could be a tumour or cancer or something...can anyone help?

wisdom teeth
as far-fetched as this may sound, but i had pain behind my eye for a good 6 months about 3 years ago until i removed my wisdom teeth on that side....suddenly the pain was gone. the dentist insisted that wisdom teeth do not cause such pain, however i was right and it was related. hope that helps

root canal & sinus pain
i had my first session of root canal done on 22nd of april & after that i got severe pain in my cheek bone, my eye & itching in my ears. Is it because of root canal or involvement of some nerve which is causing pain?

For Rozza 30, I would go to the dentist and have your teeth checked on that side. I had a similar problem and it turns out I had an infected tooth.
