Simple or Exotic: What you are experiencing may be as simple as severe neuromuscular stress and the secondary and tertiary symptoms as a result of the acute-on-chronic nature of the primary dysfunction/cause. A/some therapeutic massage(s) may be very beneficial. On the other hand, there could be something more exotic going on, from circulatory issues to neurological issues to anything in-between. Please see PCP.

? Sleep problems: Although your doctor reassured you, regular follow up is very important when it comes to headaches because it may take several visits to confirm diagnosis. Follow up when advised by pcp. Also inadequate or non restorative sleep and sleeping disorders can account for your symptoms. Try relaxation and massage.

TMJ?: Possible a TMJ disorder. To rule this in/out, see a TMJ specialist. Any dentist can be a TMJ expert with the proper training and experience. Most commonly, oral surgeons, prosthodontists, and orofacial pain specialists. Ask your MD, your dentist and your dental society for referrals.

Headaches, jaw pain: These are classic symptoms of TMJ dysfunction, which is often caused by bruxism (chronic teeth grinding and /or clenching) and stress. If you have been cleared by your medical doctor, consult a dentist who is experienced in treating TMJ disorders.
