TMJ dangerous?
Hi I have suffered from tmj for years with headaches ear aches not being able to open my mouth very far and having it open off to one side. I also get sore cheekbones and temple and sometimes even a numbing sensation in my cheek. My question is can tmj cause a bloodclot in your face or an aneyrism in your face? I know there are a lot of nerves and I'm assuming arteries and veins that also go through that area it makes me very nervous
TMJ can become serious if ignored. Pose your question to the American Speech Hearing and Language Association (ASHA) -- www.asha.org.
It is very unlikely that tmj could cause a blood clot or anything similar. However you could see a chiropractor who could "pop" your jaw in place and give you some exercises to do to prevent it getting crooked again.
