Chiari and Jaw pain

[susank917]

I have horrible jaw pain on both sides of my mouth.  No cavities, no absess.. constant pain.  I have Chiari Malformation.. is this a symptom of that?  I had some of my teeth pulled thinking that it would help.. nope.. teeth are fine.. jaw pain still constant.. need help!!!

I have frequent jaw pain, jaw numness and jaw that crack when I chew on something at some point. I saw a dentist lately and he told me that everithing is normal with my teeth an jaw on the x-ray. I also have pain in my ears due to that! My best guess whould be that it is a Chiari symptome.

  Hi and welcome to the Chiari forum.

This is a typical chiari symptom and many of us have had it....some drs do not recognize all the symptoms we do have as being from chiari...but when u look at the # of us with the same issues and one common denominator it goes to show it is chiari.

If u want to research more threads like the one Jen added to her post use the search this community feature on the top right of this screen.

  Glad to welcome u, but sorry for the reasons u sought us out.

I used to get jaw pain when I was in the armed forces....dx'd back then (in the military) as TMJ and was fitted for a "night guard" and told to stop chewing gum.  I don't know if it was related; however, I've heard that it could be.  I still have it on and off...depending upon my stress level and the intensity of my daily head pain.

I get jaw pain...other people have said they do as well.  Mine is not frequent though, so I don't do anything about it.
