Question 2

for the past few days i have felt a pulse in my jaw on the left side. every few minutes, i feel a twitch on my jaw, right above my carotid artery. no pain. is this just a muscle?

Accepted Answer

: Those symptoms may occur when you have a problem with your tooth, gum or oral mucosa, such as a simple cancer sore. You did not state if you have any oral symptom so I guess you don't. At times, a upper viral infection may behave that way although you do not have other symptoms in the oropharyngeal area. Anyway, those are often benign, usually self limited.

Accepted Answer

Constellation of Sx: You are describing a wide constellation of symptoms here and they might not all be associated.  It sounds like you have been medically evaluated for this already. What did the evaluating doctor say?  We won't be able to tie this diagnostically together for you.  Let your doctor know if you are still having problems so s/he can determine if further workup is indicated. Take care.

Accepted Answer

Rest assured that...: ...your kidney, for as many years as it sits in the back of your body attached to a bladder full of wet urine, perhaps always trying to absorb the shock of your poor posture as well as when your babies were squishing the heck out of them while you were pregnant....that they are not looking to move down the street by jumping out of your body and slithering away. Twitching's for MUSCLES not beans!
