Question:
TMJ and Numbness: I am 26 years old and have been suffering from TMJ for about 10 years.

I was only diagnosed with it about 2 years ago. Previously I was told it was a sinus problem and was given antibiotics every time I had a "sinus" headache. I now wear a bite plate.

For the past two weeks I have had a terrible headache mainly around my right eye, with numbness. My jaw hasn't been bothering me at all. I get pain in my neck and right hand as well also with numbness. I was wondering whether this could be related to my TMJ, as I don't recognise this headache, other than the numbness. ....Visitor from NY

Answer:
Numbness is not usually a good sign and needs to be addressed. Has there been any trauma lately? I would recommend being seen by a neurologist.
