A member asked:
I've had an ear pain that goes down the front side of my neck, for months now. i also have an off-balance feel. the doctor said there is no infection. could it be tmj or something else?

Prob not TMJ: Tmj problems usually do not cause dizziness. Problems with balance can be due to inner ear disturbances. An infection may not be the cause. Consult with an ent.

Start with ENT: Not sure if "doc" refers to general dentist or primary care physician? I would recommend that you see an ENT specialist to start, and also consult with a dentist experienced and trained in dealing with tmd\tmj issues to cover all your bases.

Possibly: Get an evaluation with a dentist you may have muscle or jaw-joint pain associated with TMJ syndrome!

ENT: Having a balance problem and ear pain is a concern that should first be seen by an ENT dr. Let him/her rule out specific ear issues before possibly consulting with a tmj/tmd specialist.

TMJ or Ear: Could be either TMJ or ear problem. See ENT doc first.
