@pattycake1 TMJ is annoying.
I have recently developed Occipital Neuralgia which causes pain similar to TMJ. My pain is around my jaw, cheek, under my eye, my scalp is tender to touch and my neck and shoulders hurt.

It is caused by a misalignment of the head and neck that causes the nerves under the skin on the head to get inflamed. It also inflamed the nerves in my left eye causing me to temporarily lose vision 3 times in two days.

I think that extensive dental work can lead to a misalignment of your head and neck.

For me it was a new pillow. It was too high and it put me out of wack! I did physical therapy, and bought a new pillow and I am better.

Best wishes.
