Neck/ Head/ Ear pain

I've found the day after eating an average quantity of fish the symptoms lessen to near manageable. I'll be stepping up my omega3 intake by consuming more fish.

There’s also a lot of brain pressure and pain on that one side. :/

moonlit126, it sound like it might be sinus. You could see an ENT. Your doctor must be suspecting muscular. You might try over the counter (but you have to ask the pharmacist) pseudoephedrine 4hour the little red one not the white one. But only take one though the dose is two.
When I have similar symptoms my neck muscles on one side get tense.
It sounds wonderful to be so young and have two little ones. It can be awfully hard on the neck muscles. You might try a chiropractor.

@moonlit126 Since you have a TMJ diagnosis, you may benefit by seeing a dentist that specializes in correcting that. I have some relevant experience and share some of your symptoms. What I have learned from my specialist dentist is that if your C1 and C2 vertebrae are a bit out of alignment, that affects the jaw alignment and causes headaches because it's yanking on some muscles. There is a disc in the jaw and there needs to be a couple millimeters of space around that disc. If that space is narrowed by the jaw being out of alignment, the disc can pop or click as it moves. You can see this too in the mirror by opening your jaw wide and very slowly and feel it with your fingers.

I had a whiplash and also have thoracic outlet syndrome that makes my neck too tight on one side. My vertebrae can twist on their own from the uneven tension. I had a cervical fusion at C5/C6 because of a herniated disc. My dentist has sent me for physical therapy on my neck, and I have oral appliances on upper and lower teeth. She is widening my jaws and leveling them. My jaws are too narrow and I also have asthma, and this will widen the opening to my throat and should help breathing. She adjusts the bite on the appliances, and they are split in the middle and have a screw that spreads the sides apart. I adjust the tension by turning the screws little by little. It makes the teeth not meet up the same way, but that will correct as both upper and lower are properly adjusted. When there is tightness on one side of the jaw and the jaw space narrows, it can affect the disc and cause ear pain, facial pain and tinnitus. These are physical issues that need some physical therapy and rehab to correct.

Have you had an injury such as a whiplash? Do you have pain symptoms in your arms and hands that radiate from the neck? If you do, you may want an evaluation for TOS (thoracic outlet syndrome) from a neurologist or vascular surgeon. PT may help that too if you have those issues.

@jenniferhunter oh my gosh, I’ve never even heard of that until now. I did a small google search and I saw that it affects the ring and pinky finger, which I’ve had a lot of trouble with going numb and feeling weird. I talked to my doctor about it and he told me he’s never heard of only a couple of fingers going numb that it’s usually the whole hand. Now I did go to the hospital yesterday as I was feeling worse and I did get diagnosed with hypothyroidism. He gave me a head ct and chest ct just to rule out any blood clots that could potentially be causing me to be brain fogged and dizzy. Maybe I should bring TOS up at my next doctors appointment. Thank you so much!

@moonlit126 Most doctors miss TOS because they barely cover it in med schools. A neurologist should be able to diagnose it or a vascular surgeon. If you look for a medical center that lists TOS as a condition they treat, you should find specialists there that should be able to understand it. I had doctors doing Doppler tests and not understanding the results and telling me I couldn’t have TOS because it’s rare. What’s rare is finding a doctor who understands it. I have read it usually takes a patient 7 years to get a proper diagnosis. Mayo has a good information page on TOS and so does MSKneurology.com
