Ear pain 4 2 mo. 4 courses abx didn't help. no tmj. hearing tests = normal. ent ordered temporal ct. what r possible findings?

None: I have had patients like this. Don't be surprised if the ct scan of the temporal bone comes back normal. If it is normal reevaluate TMJ, consider Eustachian tube dysfunction, have your sinuses evaluated, and consider tension of your neck muscles as a cause ( your SCM muscle attached from your collar bone to the mastoid bone behind your ear.

No TMJ?: Sounds like it might be TMJ. Dont rely on ENT to diagnose TMJ See a TMJ expert to help evaluate and treat your problem. A TMJ expert can be general dentist, an oral surgeon, prosthodontist, orofacial pain specialist. Ask your physician, dentist or dental society for a recommendation.
