Hi. I am new to this site. I too have head and neck pain feeling as though I have a cap on my head (left side). I first put it down to a draft where I work, it comes and goes. I was recently diagnosed with lichen planus and wondered if it could be related to this. I believe it could be stress related too. Have you had bloods done? Seen a dentist?

it could. the vice versa could also be true-- neck problems can cause jaw pain. I'd see a TMJ specialist, ot a PT knowledgable abut the head and neck. This type of pain is usually muscular, but sometimes can be helped with certain types of dental intervention.
There is certainly a possibility that the pain in your neck and head is part of the TMJ dysfunction.Pain that can be referred down your neck into your shoulders has been part of the entire syndrome.
