Hi doctor,
I got facial pain, headaches, popping sound while opening jaw, pressure and sometimes neck pain as well. I got patchy mucosal thickening of ethmoid sinuses from a CT scan. I have attached my dental x-ray. Are my symptoms due to sinuses? Or do I have TMD of right mandible? Most of my symptoms are on my right side of the face. I am having this issue since a year. Please help.
Hi,
Welcome to icliniq.com.
- Since the symptoms you have mentioned are strongly suggestive of temperomandibular joint disorder (TMD), you will need an advice from an oral surgeon and a neurologist.
- Avoid chewing anything hard on the right side in the meantime.
- A popping sound heard is the commonest symptom of a problem with the joint.
- The orthopantomograph (OPG) you have sent is inconclusive. More diagnosis is needed. Do consult both the specialist as this condition tends to get more serious as age progresses.
