TMJ??

hello,
my symptoms are/were: headaches,jaw pain,sore teeth,sore throat going on 3 months,flushed face but no fever (will throw in slight burning tongue)
my gp has seen my throat and says it is normal but prescribed prednisone and flonase for what he thinks are allergies
gp and chiro think headaches related to spine issues which have passed since regularly going to chiro about 2 months ago
dentist has been telling me for about 2 years that i grind my teeth. actually chiropractor asked me if the dentist has ever mentioned this also
could my remaining symptoms be due to tmj?      
thx ba66ba

   Here are the symptoms of TMJ. What you have sounds different. I would see a good ENT and don't mention TMJ. Let them tell you what you have.
Good luck
