Typical TMJ symptom: if you are someone who internalizes her stresses, chances are you clench, grind your teeth and tighten your shoulders when you are worried/anxious. This leads to pain in and around your ear, AND FEELS LIKE AN EAR INFECTION! As I wrote in Contemporary Int Med 15 years ago, when a patient has no otitis to explain ear pain, we have to consider pain/dysfunction of the TMJ. sorry no more room
