A member asked:

Can tmj-tmd cause facial pain, lump in throat feeling, and a swollen bump on the tip of the chin, with actual pain when pushing the chin bone ?

Yes to all, but one: "a swollen bump on the tip of the chin". It can be difficult to diagnose the cause without a complete physical evaluation and imaging by your dentist or your doctor. Take care.

Possibly: Yes to your questions on some of the symptoms of TMJ/TMD, but the bump on the chin could be unrelated and needs to be checked.

Yes, but: Yes, except for the chin bump. Have the chin bump seen by an oral surgeon ASAP.
