Hi Zaa, welcome to the ENT group. Your discomfort with pain and breathing problems sound miserable. I'm tagging @jea1 @edeng @vita61 @beebuzz and @nrd1 to see if they have some experiences and thoughts to share with you.

Zaa, how do you manage your pain? It must be so hard to get a good night's sleep.

I, like others, had a bad orthodontist 45 years ago, that could have done some damage and have had lots of dental work too. Dentist found a tooth yesterday that has resorption so may loose it. I’m a clincher and have worn mouth guard for 20+ years. Started to see physical therapist so getting the exercises and have seen acupuncturist couple times to deal with sinus and tmj. I’m not seeing any comments on here about loss of hearing and tinnitus, which happened to me on my bad tmj side. Anyone? So much happening in my face and neck, I’m worried! The stress and depression has been very difficult to deal with and not knowing who to turn to.
