Can you have a tmd issue without the joint hurting? when rotating the neck and feeling an ear itch be caused by tmd issue?

Yes: It could be muscular and associated with strap muscles in your neck or ear related. Get it evaluated and don't be surprised if referrals are made to other diagnosticians. Start with a TMD-aware dentist..

Not uncommon: In many cases patients report no pain but still have problems moving or opening their jaws (close lock). You may experience TMD condition initially and then develop comorbidities like neck ear symptoms.
