What Causes Intermittent Bilateral Jaw, Neck And Scapular Pain?
A friend has intermittent attacks of bilateral jaw, neck and scapular pain. The pain is severe and seems to wear off after a couple of days. She has gone to the ER with this 3 times and had her heart thoroughly checked so it is probably not a cardiac issue. What type of physician should she see to diagnose and treat this?
Understanding your concern. As per your query you have symptoms of intermittent bilateral jaw, neck and scapular pain which is mainly due to temporomandibular joint dislocation and it could be due to because of the neuralgia in relation trigeminal nerve.
Nothing to be panic. I would suggest you to consult dentist once and get it evaluated. Go for radiographs like OPG and TMJ views to confirm the diagnosis. Do not eat hard substances and do not open your jaw too wide. Do a luke warm hot and cold fermentation to suppress swelling and pain. Start taking anti inflammatory analgesics for the joint dislocation. Do mouth stretching exercises.
Hope your concern has been resolved.
Get Well Soon.
Best Wishes, Dr. Harry Maheshwari
