My mom suffers from chronic pain all the time up the right side of her face, her throat, neck, under her ear, in the ear and her jaw of course. She has been using a heating pad every night and the pain in her jaw has gotten a little better. She suffers in awful pain and it has been going on for months.
The dentist said TMJ, but the primary doctor said an ear infection and she took an antibiotic but it didn't help the pain.
So back to square one for TMJ. She also has sinus troubles and her glands are swollen.
I'm just asking what can be done here? She wears dentures so she can't grind any teeth but she does clench her jaw at night so what can she do to stop that when she has no teeth?
We are at a loss here and honestly my family is full of health problems, with me having lupus and my dad having cancer, so if anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it :)
