Hi Midge. I haven't seen your other posts but wanted to say something about your ultrasound. I don't know specific circumstances for you.

I had a carotid ultrasound because my GP was concerned I may have a blockage because of the pain I was having in my neck. Well, the ultrasound was painful for me. Hurt my ear, my neck, my jaw.

But as it turned out, that was all because the pain was from TMJ! The ultrasound didn't show any blockage. Well, some, but normal for my age I guess.

I hope you come back to tell the results of the test.
