neck pain

Folks-
I have some of what I think is TMD/TMJ.  I have been worked up for cardio and been cleared twice with stress test, ekg, night in the hospital, and enzymes.  What I have is actually in the neck and jaw.  the left side of my neck hurts toward the side (main muscle/tendon going down from the jaw to the shoulder, and under my jaw, from what I can tell is inside my jaw.  there are ridges on my jaw towards my chin that hurt, and also the space in between my jaw hurts.  Don't know if it is glandular or tmj related.  odd stuff.  Cannot see my doc until next Thursday.  anything that I can do?

You can try a pain relieving gel and heat regularly. Ibuprofen gel and a hot water bottle are my friends! Also try not to chew too much, have a mainly soft diet for a few days. Hope this helps x

I agree it could be, obviously I'm not a medical person, but I have similar symptoms and am newly diagnosed.

does that sound like TMJ disorder to you?  It freaks me out because it'll come then go then come back again.
