TMJ on Left Side with Full-Body Numbness: What’s the Real Cause?

Patient's Query

Hi sir iam having tmj left jaw but I feel pain and tingling numbness complete left side from head to toe I have done brain CT mri nothing found pls help me with the problen

Answered by Dr. Gurneet Sawhney

While TMJ (temporomandibular joint) issues can cause facial pain, jaw stiffness, and sometimes radiating discomfort to the neck and head, numbness and tingling from head to toe on one side suggest involvement beyond just TMJ.

Since your brain CT and MRI are normal, the issue may lie in the nerves outside the brain, possibly from the cervical spine (neck area) or peripheral nerves. Sometimes, nerve compression, postural imbalances, or even functional neurological disorders can present like this.

You should consult a neurologist and also, a maxillofacial specialist or physiotherapist familiar with TMJ can help manage jaw-related symptoms.

I am 68 years old and I had craniotomy surgery last year due to stroke related diabetes and the numbness had gone but now days it has began I don't feel some parts of my arm I can't even manage to carry something or else it will fall and my legs tend to swell what can I do

Male | 68

These issues could stem from nerve recovery after surgery, or they may relate to circulation and fluid retention. I recommend elevating your legs whenever possible and incorporating gentle exercises to promote circulation. Staying hydrated and reducing salt intake can also help manage swelling. However, it's crucial to discuss these new symptoms with your healthcare provider. They can assess your condition and provide tailored advice.

Male | 69

The stroker or synchronized swimming effect of water can occur after a stroke due to weakness in the throat muscles. Ask the doctor if they can refer you to a speech therapist to help improve swallowing. They may also suggest safe methods for eating and drinking.

You are suffering from a tension headache. A typical characteristic of this problem is that you constantly feel like a tight band is wrapping around the head. A person may get this headache due to the brain's reaction to a stressful, tense environment, constant poor body mechanics, or eyestrain. One way to alleviate it is to relax, maintain good posture, and have screen breaks. Easy and gentle exercises for the neck can also be quite helpful. In addition to keeping your body hydrated and well-rested, you can treat yourself to a regular massage.

It's the middle of the night and I keep stretching my legs my arms and everything continuously and it's driving me crazy and I don't seem to fall asleep what's wrong with me??

Female | 15

You might be feeling the restless legs syndrome. It is a kind of disorder that can lead to you wanting to move your legs (or even hands) all the time, especially during the night. It can greatly affect the process of falling asleep. Restless legs syndrome is usually due to low iron, numerous medications, or other health conditions. Reaching the reason beneath it and then applying some life changes can help. Visit a health specialist for a personalized answer.

What causes sudden faint

Male | 16

Sometime­s, people faint unexpe­ctedly. This occurs when blood doesn't re­ach the brain sufficiently. It might be low blood pre­ssure, or maybe the he­art rate dropped suddenly. Rapid standing, de­hydration, and low blood sugar often cause fainting. To avoid it, stand up slowly from seate­d positions. Also, drink plenty of fluids regularly. Eating freque­nt meals helps maintain stable blood sugar le­vels.

A stroke is a nervous system problem that can cause symptoms like weakness, difficulty speaking, and confusion. It happens when the brain is starved of oxygen due to a blocked blood vessel or a burst blood vessel. Stroke treatment varies and may include medications, therapy, or surgery. The best chance of recovery is if you get to the hospital as soon as possible.

She is using these medicine since two weeks, before she doesn't have these issue. She only had a migraine and she once had a spot in her right eye which goes after a week. But she has a small lump behind her ear which doctor mentioned it as a swellon nerve. Kindly please suggest is she getting correct treatment because her Condition is getting worse day by day in terms of mental health. She has a family history of migraine her mother and sisters.

Female | 34

Propranolol and topiramate sometimes result in symptoms such as drowsiness, lightheadedness, mood changes, and an inability to concentrate. You or she must discuss this with the neurologist who prescribed these drugs because they could fix this issue by adjusting dosages or prescribing different medications that would be effective against migraines without affecting mental stability. If the lump located at the back of her ear is not yet diagnosed then it should also get checked into by the doctor to find out if there might be any connection with other signs.

I am 14 years old and I am suffering from bells palsy I am asking you that is cancelled I smoke vape in bells palsy recovery

Male | 14

Bell’s palsy is a condition where facial muscles on one side of the face are not functioning properly, thus causing the affected part to droop. Smoking or vaping can make your recovery take longer. These kinds of practices can be a good reason to avoid them when you are sick because more time your body requires to recover.

Male | 23

These signs may arise from many different causes. One possible reason could be dehydration caused by not drinking enough water or inadequate sleep. In some cases, the morning headache can also be caused by breakfast skipping. Pay attention to your diet, include plenty of water and try to sleep well. When the symptoms do not go away, it is good to ask a doctor for help.
