Hi again. Actually I used to well may still in MI and I would commute to Cleveland Clinic but I also saw doctors at Ucla and areas in Ca and in MI. Now since the winter is so horrible on my pain level I am in FL and we will see what spring brings because humidity is a huge issue like right now I am in a horrible pain state.
Anyhow back to the original topic, I know for myself too the pain is the worst like no other in the leg well both now. I do know that since I have rsd I am so sensitive in other areas where it causes a lot of pain any extra strain or poking. Some sort of hypersensitive so I wonder and I could be way wrong but if your tmj has become worsened because your body in general is more sensitive. I do feel that my eyes/ear started as one condition but because it didn't get treated it too turned rsd. Now I have had mixed feelings from docs about my eyes and ear being rsd though my legs are for sure. Again like I said I hope that with proper treatment for my legs that it will help the overall body and then I will for sure think it is connected. Hugs and better wishes
