Turns out the neck pain I had , has nothing to do with TMD

Discussion

I posted here before about where I had episodes of having a very sharp neck pain and I had to suck it up for 6 months because I thought it was TMD,

Also that pain has affected all the area and the muscles around my ear and I thought they were trigger points 😃 it made it very suspicious not to be TMD

And guess what??

It’s a nerve inflammation and it was gone from the first day I was given steroids (medrol, cortisone)

I can’t fucking believe that a chronic pain where I had for 6 months is gone, hopefully forever.

Please if you still feel that there’s something wrong with your diagnosis don’t hesitate to see more doctors.
