Lately I've had horrible pains in my jaw and ears.. I can't even talk when this happens feels like my jaw is completely warn out. Does this happen to anyone else? I know it is not TMJ I have been seen by my dentist recently.. Not sure what's going on.

My Husband also has this issue and his doctor and dentist didn't say he had anything wrong with him, not even grinding. He went to an ear, nose and throat specialist and that doctor diagnosed him with TMJ after testing. You may want to look into seeing a specialist.

I agree with Stephanie. See a specialist. As it worked out, when I went in for TMD treatment, the dentist was the one who finally diagnosed the fibro. I had been going to the doctor for years, tying to figure out what was wrong with me. Go until you find someone who might be able to help you more.

Unfortipunatelt, nothing has had a long-term effect, only the massage described here j
Has helped much. well that and the pain meds. The last bite guard I got made my bottom teeth LOOSE! EEK!!!

This is interesting. I thought my jaw & ear pain were just me. My ears ring pretty much all of the time & more on the worst days. My left jaw has been cracking for maybe 6 months. Many years ago my ex-husband punched my in the jaw & I just thought these were after effects. I do catch myself clenching my jaw sometimes & I knew that was a result of the pain. Thank you all for posting. It's somehow comforting to know that it's not just one more thing that's just my body.
