[|Human|] Hi, I was recently diagnosed with a severe case of TMJ, causung severe facial pain and headaches that last all day. On my last doctors visit, she suggested I have Fybromyalgia. I am having severe lower back pain. I have had a clean MRI and a clean CT scan of my sinus cavity. I have an appt. with a nuerilogist in Jan. I have been instructed not to take over the counter meds as I have a bleeding ulcer. Any suggestions on pain releif? I have been living with this since June 2014. Thanks, Lance
[|AI|]  Hello, I have studied your case with diligence. As per query you have fibromyalgia and pain in TMJ and headache. Well in condition like fibromyalgia, it amplifies painful sensations by affecting the way your brain processes pain signals. But this pain start with physical trauma, surgery, infection or significant psychological stress. So it seems to me that TMJ pain is due to bruise that is clenching of teeth at night. I would suggest you to consult the dentist and get mouth guard so that TMJ problem can be minimized. Doctor may also prescribe muscle relaxant. Also do physical therapy of facial muscles. In the meanwhile consult doctor and take treatment for fibromyalgia like antidepressants, anti-seizure Chat Doctor. Wishing you good health. Take care
