Close TMJ
A physical therapist thinks my migraines are TMJ related. She is the 1st to mention this in my 17 yrs of suffering despite me noting to my docs that I have severe jaw pain with my migraines. Am starting to explore TMJ and will see a specialist; physical therapy shows some improvements w/1 mo of treatment.
Treatments
- Physical Therapy Working / Worked
- Seems to be working but need more time
Open Chronic Pain
Chronic migraines/headaches
Treatments
- Heat Working / Worked
- Feels nice but wouldnt say it actually works to relieve the headache
- Naproxen Not Working
- Physical Therapy Working / Worked
- Seems to be helping but just started about a month ago so too soon to tell.
- Topamax Somewhat Helpful
- With everything the docs put me on, I dont think they even know what's working at this point. I've been on this forever and still have 22 migraines a month so really, is this working?
