Tmj +leg Pain???
Posted: 05-10-06 19:28pm

Do any of you tmj sufferers have leg pain? Specifically in the backs of your thighs. Also perhaps hip pain? I saw on the net somewhere that this could be a symptom, but can't find it now.

Okay, no responses, so i'm guessing that leg pain is not a common symptom

i'm thinking I might have fibromyalgia along with the tmj

when I go off my pain meds, my jaw joint hurts, my hips and legs hurt, and the joint in my thumb swells up

i can't get in to see a rhuematologist until the end of july :(

I got tmj from grinding / clenching my teeth at night and lately i've been having pains throughout my body short ones but it still hurts for no reason I dont think its from tmj but ya I think I may have that fibromyaniaa thingy too. :(

leg pain ----I have it. the pain at the back of the thigh is usually caused by the sciatica nerve. If you find a good chiropractor they can help with that. they can also help with the jaw as well. make sure that they are familiar with tmj and if not take all the info on it that you can to them. that will help them understand and learn to better help you.

tmj & leg pain
Posted: 11-16-08 01:19am

i suffer from tmj and about 3 weeks ago i received my new "mouth piece" to correct it which i wear 24/7. it seems ever since then, my legs ache incredibly, especially around my knees. they feel as if i ran a marathon. they hurt more and more throughout the day. i've gone to a dr after 3 weeks and they are uncertain. the pain is also in my hips. i'm afraid that if i discontinue the mouth piece my horrible headaches will come back and i can't stand to do that either. good luck in finding out about your pain.

i dont think this is related to the mouth peice directly. i think that you need a chiropractor that would help not only with the leg pain but also with the tmd and the headaches
